Fury v Usyk LIVE: Start time, undercard and latest updates from weigh-in

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are separated after shove at fiery weigh-in

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will tip the scales at a weigh-in today, two days before their undisputed heavyweight title fight in Riyadh.

On Saturday, WBC champion Fury and unified title holder Usyk will clash to crown the division’s first undisputed king in 24 years. And fight week in Saudi Arabia has already provided drama, with Fury’s father John headbutting one of Usyk’s teammates on Monday.

Thankfully that incident has not threatened Saturday’s main event, which was delayed by three months when Tyson suffered a cut over his eye in February.

The bout is now closer than ever, with Briton Fury and Ukraine’s Usyk appearing at a press conference on Thursday – where little was said from either man, in all honesty – and the weigh-in marks the final face-off before the first bell.

Follow all the latest news from the Fury vs Usyk fight week below, and live updates from the weigh-in.
