Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk: Foul-mouthed Fury shoves Usyk at weigh-in

Fury had a confrontation with Usyk and threatened to forget about taking his belts, and instead go straight for his heart tomorrow.

During the weigh-in for their highly anticipated bout, Tyson Fury aggressively pushed and used profanity towards Oleksandr Usyk, igniting excitement and anticipation for their upcoming historic fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship title.

Fury, without a shirt on, glared at the Ukrainian and then aggressively shoved him, causing a short-lived brawl on the stage. He proceeded to aggressively swear at his rival on Friday.

"We are fully prepared to have an amazing time, with fireworks on display tomorrow evening. The 35-year-old British individual expressed anger and determination, stating that they will knock him out cold. This statement was met with enthusiastic cheers from the audience."

"I am determined to beat him and win his heart, forget about his belts. I will knock him out tomorrow and he will know that I have won his heart."

Fury stepped on the scales and the weight displayed was 118.8 kilograms, which is equal to 262 pounds. This weight is 6.8 kilograms or 15 pounds less than what he weighed in his last match. On the other hand, Usyk's weight was 105.9 kilograms, equivalent to 233.5 pounds, which was much more than his usual weight of 100.2 kilograms or 221 pounds.

The boxer from Ukraine named Usyk was questioned about what he had spoken to Fury. In response, he said, "You don't need to worry, I won't abandon you the next day."

He expressed that he can sustain his composure due to his strategic approach. He believes that if he succumbs to nervousness, he will lose.

"The Awaited Battle: The Ultimate Showdown."

This coming Saturday, two fighters who have not yet lost a match will compete in the first heavyweight championship bout in more than two decades where the winner will take home all four of the main belts.

Frank Warren, who is a promoter, stated that this fight is very significant and could be considered the most important of this century.

"This is the showdown we've all been anticipating - the top two unbeatable heavyweight fighters worldwide," he declared on a scorching Thursday night.

This is a unique occurrence. Battles similar to this one only arise once in a lifetime.

There are differing viewpoints about who will win, with some favoring the tall and savvy Tyson Fury, also known as the "Gypsy King," while others support the exceptional abilities and physical conditioning of Usyk.

According to Lewis, in an interview with the BBC, Fury is expected to triumph by accumulating points. He cited the reasons that the fighter is bigger, has longer arms, and has great movement.

Tony Bellew, who was defeated by Usyk in his final cruiserweight fight, cautioned that Fury will be facing the most talented and exceptional boxer of his life in Usyk.

"The individual is situated on a different level. We have individuals who compete in boxing, and then we have Usyk," Bellew stated.

In the lead-up to the event, tensions ran high on occasion, exemplified by an incident in which Fury's father engaged in a headbutt with a member of Usyk's team, resulting in blood pouring down his face.

Even though the final news conference was held on Thursday, both fighters remained silent. Fury assured to pray for Usyk while the Ukrainian jot down a poem.

In the month of October, during his fight against Francis Ngannou, Fury weighed a heavy 125.9kg (equivalent to 277.7 pounds). Despite his size, he appeared slow and was even knocked down, though he ultimately won by a divided decision.

The famous boxer known as the "Gypsy King" weighed 112kg (247 pounds) during his most notable victory, where he outperformed Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. He weighed his lightest in his career, which was 111.3kg (245.5 pounds) for his match with Vinny Maddalone in 2012.

In the past, Usyk, who used to compete in the cruiserweight division, was known for his consistent weight in his recent heavyweight fights. He weighed 100.2kg (221 pounds) when he won against Anthony Joshua in 2021 and 2022, and 99.7kg (220 pounds) when he fought against Daniel Dubois last year.

Stories about his training are famous. He has accomplished 10-kilometer (6-mile) swims, held his breath for over four minutes, and demonstrated his quick reflexes by juggling and catching six coins simultaneously.

Considering their closely matched skills, the determining factor may rely on which contender possesses the ability to remain strategic and flexible throughout the 12 predetermined rounds.
