‘Forget his belts. I’m coming for his heart, he’s getting it tomorrow,’ Fury threatened in a brief bust-up with Usyk.
Tyson Fury shoved and swore at Oleksandr Usyk at the weigh-in as the build-up to their historic undisputed heavyweight clash exploded into life.
A shirtless Fury eyeballed the Ukrainian and then pushed him angrily, sparking a brief melee on stage, before hurling a series of swear words at his opponent on Friday.
“We’re ready to rock and roll, so fireworks tomorrow night. I’m going knock (him) spark out,” raged the 35-year-old Brit, drawing cheers from the crowd.
“I’m coming for his heart, that’s what I’m coming for. (Forget) his belts. I’m coming for his heart, he’s getting it tomorrow, spark out!”
Fury weighed in at 262 pounds (118.8 kilos), more than 15lb lighter than his last outing, while Usyk was 233.5lb, significantly heavier than his customary 221lb.
