Oleksandr Usyk has become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world after defeating Tyson Fury in boxing's biggest fight of the century. Last night, Fury weighed in at 262lbs - nearly three stone heavier than Usyk, who clocked in at a career heaviest of 223lbs . Fury refused to look at his opponent during a news conference on Thursday, but did not back down at the weigh-in last night, where the pair almost came to blows before being separated by their entourages.
Fury entered to songs by Barry White and Bonnie Tyler, with the 'Gypsy King' spending several minutes dancing on stage before the song changed to Holding Out For A Hero. Anthony Joshua watched from the ringside, knowing he could meet the winner early next year. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
