Tyson Fury shoved Oleksandr Usyk back in their final confrontation ahead of Saturday's undisputed world heavyweight championship clash, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
On Friday night in Riyadh, at 262lbs (18st 10lbs) Fury was significantly lighter for this contest than his last fight, while Usyk was a substantial career heaviest at 233½lbs (16st 9lbs), about 12lbs more than he'd ever scaled before.
At the final press conference on Thursday Fury had declined to make eye contact with Usyk, denying him a staredown.
This time he backed down from nothing, rounding on Usyk and shoving him. They could not face off for much longer as the two fighters and their entourages had to be separated.

Fury will lose this fight to hard body shots!
-
If Fury wins this, he proves the world wrong again, Usyk is humble, but Tyson is underestimated. Let’s go Fury😮💨

Get the feeling usyk gonna wipe the floor with fury and his dad will be getting in the car before getting interviewed 😂
-
Fury seems a bit rattled…
-
Son you can 😂😂😂😂

Stepped up from Cruiserweight is the sentence that matters here. No doubt about boxing ability, but 2 stone extra weighing down on you and wrapping you up could easily pay. Its what did for wilder IMO. Fury will spend the first few rounds leaning all over him and start trying to knock him out after round 6/7
-
Was in Fury’s corner before this weigh-in but hope he gets humbled now by the real man in the fight. 🥊

Fury been acting mad plus one thing i noticed is he hasn't looked usyk in the eye that much after about 4 seconds he will push him that's unlikely fury he can look a man in his eye no problem but he feels the need to push usyk I think he knows this ain't gona be easy
