Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk engaged in a tense over ten-minute staredown at the final press conference ahead of their blockbuster heavyweight rematch. With their highly-anticipated rematch now just two days away, both fighters faced questions in front of the assembled media in attendance.
Fury made his way to the stage first, dressed in an extravagant black and white suit topped by a black fedora. Not to be outdone, Usyk then joined him on the stage accompanied by a live musical performance complete with backing choir and brass section.
Asked his thoughts on the rematch Fury kept his response brief: 'I'm gonna dish out a whole lot of pain. 'I'm gonna put this f***** in the hurt locker for sure. . He continued: 'I got nothing to say, apart from, there's going to be a whole lot of hurt and pain in this fight you watch.
'That's all I got to say. Talking's been done. You know, the first fight I talked, I joked, through all my career. 'This time I'm serious. I'm going to do some f****** damage here on Saturday night. 'Watch me go to work on this f*****.'. Matchroom Boxing chief Eddie Hearn insisted Fury has what it takes to emerge victorious in the rematch.
'The one thing I'll say, people ask me all the time who's going to win this fight,' Hearn said. 'Oleksandr Usyk is an incredible fighter, and it will take something extraordinary to beat him on Saturday night, but I know we've had our differences, Tyson Fury is capable of extraordinary things.
