Fury and Usyk last faced each other at Friday’s weigh-in before their in-ring clash.
While Usyk seemed friendly towards Fury’s son, the same cannot be said for his attitude towards the Gypsy King, which was exemplified at the weigh-ins.
Tempers flared after both fighters stepped off the scale before the heavyweights squared off and clashed on stage.
A fight subsequently broke out and Fury appeared to push Usyk away from him, before their respective teams pulled the pair away.
Fury then unleashed a furious tirade against a DAZN journalist, shouting: “I’m going for his heart.” Fuck his belts, I’m going for his fucking heart.
‘I’m going to knock him unconscious. Screw his entire team, screw everyone! Everyone can get it if they want. Shitty houses!’
The Gypsy King was also asked how he felt after the confrontation, to which he responded: “I’m ready to rock tonight, I’m going to put out this little spark.”
The winner of the Saudi showdown will become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999, so it turns out to be a great fight for both men.
Prince John James is Fury’s eldest son and one of the Gypsy King’s seven children.
The two heavyweights faced off during their final showdown before the fight on Friday afternoon.
Fury and Usyk sat at a news conference Thursday in Saudi Arabia, with Fury refusing to confront Usyk, crossing his arms and looking toward the audience inside the arena as the Ukrainian stared at him.
Asked why he didn’t face Usyk, Fury told Sky Sports: “He’s a scary looking guy.”
He added: “I’m just here to relax and wait until I get in the ring on Saturday night.” All the talking is done, all the interviews are done. “I’m really relaxed and focused.”
Usyk said: ‘Let’s make history. Enough.’
