Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will go head to head on Saturday (18 May) and Fury had some explosive words for Usyk the day before the big fight.

Fury and Usyk will meet in Riyadh on Saturday after the original 17 February date for their undisputed world heavyweight clash had to be abandoned when the British WBC champion was hurt in training.

Speaking to press at the weigh-in, Fury said: "Fireworks tomorrow night. I'm gonna knock this little fu**er spark out!

"I'm coming for his heart, that's what I'm coming for, f**k his belts, he's getting it tomorrow, spark out. F**k his team too, f**k the lot of them, they can all get it if they want."

Yesterday, Fury refused to look Usyk in the eye during a face-off, but he did have a surprising message for his opponent.

Fury stated: "God Bless him. And I'll say a prayer for him before we walk out that we'll both come out the ring in one piece and go home to our families, cause that's what it's all about."

His surprising kind words brought on a round of applause from Usyk, his team and the crowd at the pre-fight press conference.

The 35-year-old is thought to have said this in the wake of the death of British boxer Sherif Lawal, who was pronounced dead after his professional boxing match at Harrow Leisure Centre.
