- Fighters respectful after discordant buildup to Riyadh bout
- ‘I am excited … let’s make history,’ says Ukrainian Usyk
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk were in little mood for needless chatter at the final press conference before they meet for Saturday night’s undisputed world heavyweight title fight in Riyadh.
A shirtless Fury wore a flame-covered suit, black waistcoat and a jaunty black trilby but he was uncharacteristically brief and conciliatory before he studiously avoided engaging in a traditional face-off with Usyk.
