Tyson Fury dropped some weight and appeared to be in good shape at the weigh-in for his heavyweight fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- Tyson Fury delivered a lackluster performance vs. Francis Ngannou in October, but"The Gypsy King" appeared in far better shape during Friday's weigh-in at 262 pounds ahead of his undisputed heavyweight championship fight vs. Oleksandr Usyk.
After the fighters tipped the scales, Fury and Usyk engaged in a heated shoving match on the stage at the outdoor BLVD City in Saudi Arabia's capital. The former undisputed cruiserweight champion cleaned out the 200-pound weight class and then went on to collect the WBA, WBO and IBF titles with a pair of wins over Joshua.
Usyk, who lives in war-torn Ukraine, said he's able to stay calm in the face of Fury's antics because"if I will be nervous, I will not win." Throughout the promotion -- the fight was originally scheduled for Feb. 17 before Fury suffered a severe cut in sparring -- Usyk has laughed off Fury's attempts at mind games.
