From champion Oleksandr Usyk's unwanted 5am wake-ups to Tyson Fury's short-lived humbleness, BBC Sport previews Saturday's heavyweight blockbuster.
Follow live text and radio commentary of Usyk v Fury 2 from 21:00 GMT on Saturday on BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website & appWorld heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, like many mere mortals, often contemplates hammering the snooze button.
The rivalry has catapulted him from a boxing great to a sporting icon. Having reached the summit, however, is there a danger of Usyk's hunger and motivation dwindling? "When I'm in camp, every day and every minute I think 'what am I doing here? What am I doing here without my children and my wife?'Usyk was followed by an entourage of around 20 fellow Ukrainians into a hotel suite in Riyadh at Monday's media day."God gave me the opportunity but God told me 'you must work, you must not rest'," he said.
Usyk, as always, is at ease with the limelight. Tuesday's extravagant grand arrivals event took place on a Boeing 777 at a makeshift runway in the Boulevard attraction park. Within moments, Usyk had mischievously made his way into the captain's seat. Following a staredown in which neither man would look away, Fury hurled a number of insults at Usyk and insisted he was the real champion. Moments later, he danced with a group of drummers waiting outside.
"I learned a little bit but I not tell you. After my second win I will talk to you. It's not secret but maybe greedy belly will watch the TV," he says.
