Fury and Usyk on Saudi Arabia
For fight week, Tyson Fury has adopted a WWE wrestling identity, referring to himself as "The Undertaker" in advance of his match against Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night.
Tuesday saw the spectacular entrance of "The Gypsy King" in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The previous day had been a tough one, with his father having headbutted a teenage Team Usyk member.
Fury seemed focused on Usyk and the obvious work at hand, but questions occasionally veered toward "Big John."
As the heavyweight champion by line for almost nine years, Fury has experienced it all.
After his choice on Francis Ngannou in October of last year, he appears to be in much better form this time.
The two were scheduled to fight in December and February, but Fury canceled both times.
