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.

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.
