Originally planned for February, the fight was postponed to May after Fury sustained a cut during a sparring session.
Tensions escalated during the media day in Riyadh when a scuffle broke out between a member of Usyk’s team and John Fury, Tyson’s father, drawing attention from both camps.
Video footage captured the confrontation, with verbal exchanges escalating into physical altercations, culminating in John Fury headbutting a member of Usyk’s team, resulting in blood running down his forehead.
The victor of Saturday’s bout will unify the heavyweight division by holding all four championship belts, a feat not achieved since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
Reports suggest that Fury stands to earn a substantial $150 million (£116 million) from the fight, with rumors circulating about a clause in the contract requiring him to donate £1 million of his earnings to Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia.
