You can keep up to date with all the latest boxing news here.

It’s almost time! Can’t wait.

Thanks for your company this evening. See ya!

We’ve done a run down on all the information ahead of tomorrow, from the start time, to the undercard, to how to watch.

Click below to read it. It’s not one you want to miss!

Another look at Fury’s shove of Usyk is below.

We will proabably never know truly why he did it. Whether he is actually angry or doing it for show. Usyk has accused him of that in the run-up.

What we do know is it got physcial and upped the stakes for tomorrow.

Fans are continuing to have their say, both on tomorrow and on this evening’s events.

The time for talking is now literally done. It’s all on tomorrow.

Click below to see what the fans are saying.

Some words from the boxing fans on X who watched the action unfold in Saudi Arabia:

Tyson fury is rattled, Usyk is in his head.

Usyk is an amazing fighter but he is getting absolutely smashed tomorrow.

I hope Tyson Fury goes easy on Usyk, would hate to see Usyk get seriously hurt.

Fury is going to lose this.

The internet can’t split them either.

Onto tomorrow, then.

In a little over 24 hours’ time, we will see Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk go head-to-head in the biggest heavyweight fight of at least the century.

Who comes out on top? I can’t really split them. Let me know who you think wins in the comments.

Here’s a full rundown of what went on just moments ago in Saudi Arabia.

Fury is 29lbs heavier than Usyk, with ‘The Gypsy King’ over 15lbs lighter than when he faced Ngannou late last year.

Usyk has put on over 12lbs from his last fight, which was against Daniel Dubois.

Read the full rundown below.

Well then, that was a litle more eventful than I expected.

Pure mind games from Fury. He’s said Usyk is a rabbit, then the hardest opponent he’s ever faced, then ignored him, then got physical.

It’s what he does. Who knows what to predict tomorrow? I can’t wait.

Don’t be afraid. I will not leave you alone tomorrow. It is my plan. If there is no risk, I will not win. My fans, I love you. See you tomorrow.

Absolute chaos from Fury post-face-off. He’s gone on a mental swearing rant, and is bang up for this.

I’m ready to rock and roll. Fireworks tomorrow night, I’m going to knock this little f***** spark out.

I’m coming for his heart. F*** his belt, I’m coming for his f***ing heart. F*** all his team too, f*** the lot of them. They can all get it, s***houses.

A warning for the below clip that the strong language is included.

There we go then.

There are belts everywhere. Fury is jumping about pre-face-off, Usyk calm.

Well, we have some pushing and shoving. Unlike yesterday, Fury is right up in Usyk’s face, head-to-head, and shoves the Ukrainian and they are immediately separated.

It’s not quite the lightest he’s ever been, but he’s the lightest he’s been in a long time.

Usyk takes to the scales first. 233lbs for him.

Now Fury. He takes his shirt off before even starting his walk.

Shadow boxing as he sets off, a cap on his head this time.

Hands in the air as he arrives on the stage. Usyk’s team hold his belts in the air.

Usyk is out first. A fair few boos for him – I think most of those in attendance are British.

A slow walk to the ring. His belts held high behind him.

Normally quite chilled, he is dancing on his way to the stage. I don’t know what the music is but it sounds like something you’d hear at 1am in your local nightclub.

Here we go then…

Michael Buffer is here now.

We are about to get underway for the big one.

I wouldn’t say you are the greatest ever, you are the greatest of this era. I am the greatest of the last era. That’s the message.

I don’t have a message for him, he knows what he needs to do. He has an entire country behind him, I know what he wants to do.

Lewis has given a message to both Fury (top) and Usyk (bottom). A passing of the torch moment tomorrow.

Lennox Lewis has been speaking on TNT Sports, the last undisputed heavyweight champion.

He says he’s happy to hand over his title. It’s only been 25 years.

The second of the three world title fights are next. It’s for the IBF cruiserweight championship and will see Jai Opetaia take on Mairis Briedis.

Briedis comes in at 199.1, his opponent 198.1.

Opetaia can’t get to the face-off quick enough. No one has been head-to-head since the opener. I wonder if that will change in the big one.

IBO super featherweight action next. Anthony Cacace and Joe Cordina next. Northern Ireland vs Wales.

129.1 for the former, 130 for the champion.

Usyk is in the house. He will be on stage very soon.

Next up are Agit Kabayel and Frank Sanchez. We are getting there.

A big one for Sanchez who is rated highly but is yet to break into the mainstream. He’s not far away though, and win this eliminator and he’ll be close.

238.5 for Kabayel, 238.5 for Sanchez.

Ryan Garcia is there too. He’s had a lot to say for himself recently.

Robin Sirwan Safar and Sergey Kovalev are up next. The former has been promising to end the fight in seven rounds tomorrow. Kovalev is quite chilled, Usyk-like.

194.1 and 194.3 respectively. A lot of love in the area for the former world champion.

Joshua Oluwaseun and Mark Chamberlain are next. ‘The Wealth Machine’ comes in at 132.1, 134.2 for Chamberlain.

Neither man wanting to look away there!

Tyson is unpredictable. You don’t know what he’s going to say or do and you don’t know what you’re going to get. But he is quietly confident, when you have done the work, you don’t need to talk much.

Those are the words of Joseph Parker on Fury’s actions yesterday.

Seitz is 198.5lbs. 198.1, Nika. A handshake before their face-off. After, too.

Ilja Mezencev and the highly-rated Moses Itauma are next.

Itauma is just 19 and is actually from about 15 minutes away from me.

232.1 for Mezencev, 239.1 for Itauma.

Carl Frampton has just branded him the future of heavyweight boxing. Tomorrow’s fight is for the vacant WBO Intercontinental heavyweight title.

173.7 for Daniel Lapin, 174.7 for Octavio Pudivitir. It’s a heavyweight bout, and Lunin has a high height advantage. They hug, a bit different to last time.

Michael Seitz and David Nika are next.

Wladimir Klitschko is here watching on, a former opponent of Fury of course.

127.7lbs for Ahmadi. 125.5lbs for Lowe.

These fighters actually weighed in earlier. This is just a ceremonial thing, basically.

Lowe has been working close with Fury.

The two go nose-to-nose in the face-off, with Lowe shoving his opponent away.

Right then! Here we go. Thomas Treiber takes to the stage to introduce the event.

The pleasantries are first. Thanks to the Saudis, promoting the promoters and the channels that will be showing the fight.

Fans in attendace are already chanting. I’m not sure what.

Featherweights first. Hasibullah Ahamadi and England’s Isaac Lowe. Lowe is a big favourite.

Tyson Fury has reminded us that it’s been 24 years since the last undisputed champion. That was Lennox Lewis.

This is going to be the first time the two fighters lock eyes on each other before they meet in the ring tomorrow.

If Fury fancies it.

I don’t care if he looks at him. I’m not someone who thinks fights are won in the press conference.

The words of Carl Frampton on TNT Sports.

Sky have just been showing a replay of Muhammad Ali versus Oscar Bonavena at MSG from 1970 before the weigh-in starts. Enjoyed that.

Right then, ding ding ding and all that. We should be underway any second.

Right then, I can share links with you all day, but we have a weigh-in to watch and it is now five minutes away.

It’s worth looking on our site for the latest coverage. There is plenty there and will be throughout tomorrow and beyond, with reporters out in Saudi Arabia too.

The fighters will be with us soon. We shall see what awaits.

Below is a video of what happened yesterday to refresh your memory…

A number of boxing stars past and present have had their says on this weekend, and I wanted to share an exclusive with you from Evander Holyfield.

Most boxers, admittedly, have gone Fury. Height and reach speaks volumes. But not Holyfield.

He told Charlotte Daly that it is in fact Usyk who has the advantage, and explained why. He went onto say there’s only one way Fury can win…

You know the drill, click below to read more!

We were invited into Usyk’s camp a little while ago to see his brutal training regime.

He spoke about boxing not being his first calling. About his final conversation with his late father, a bomb going off near his daughter’s school.

He has quite the story. There is still so much going on out of boxing, in his home country, where he doesn’t know if his family will be alive when he wakes up in the morning.

If you read one thing today, it should be this.

It has to be up there, right?

When Fury and Usyk do battle this weekend it will be for the undisputed. Someone’s 0 has got to go, and all that.

Thw build-up hasn’t been great but these two are undoubtedly the best around. It is genuinely hard to split them.

Our very of Jeff Powell has ranked his top heavyweight fights of all time, amid the discussion of where this could land. It’s worth a real for Mail Plus subscribers.

Check it out below.

Against Ngannou, Fury weighed in at 277.7lbs, or 126kg, or 19st 8lbs.

He’s expected to come in at potentially the lightest he has ever been tonight. That’s according to John Fury, anyway, and we know he’s not one to try and attract attention…

That is 245.5lbs back in 2012 for his win over Vinny Maddalone. I’m not sure he’ll be lighter, maybe somewhere more around what he was when he beat Wilder, which was 273 and then 277lbs. Maybe a little bit less.

I mentioned yesterday’s press conference at Fury refusing to look at his opponent during the face-off. It made for an akward exchange with Usyk down to do the usual head-to-head stuff but Fury simply posing.

He’s gone from calling the Ukrainian an ugly rabbit to ignorong him completely. But why?

He revealed the reason why after, and it was because Usyk is apparently, uh, ‘scary-looking’.

I’m just here to relax now and just wait until I get in the ring on Saturday night.

His words post-face-off, if you can call it that.

Read more below.

In terms of the actual weights, we are expecting Fury to come in lighter than he ever has before. He’s shown off his impressive transformation over the last few days, and seems to be taking Usyk a lot more serious than he took Francis Ngannou.

Usyk – a former cruiserweight, remember – is a bit stockier at the minute. He has a height and reach disadvantage, but will be hoping to use his boxing brain to earn victory.

Read below for full details on the incredible transformations of both men ahead of their undisputed title bout.

Hello one and all and welcome to Mail Sport’s live coverage of tonight’s weigh-in ahead of Fury vs Usyk.

It’s a pretty big one. The heavyweight pair were criticised for a lack of action at yesterday’s press conference, so wel’ll see what we get tonight. Hopefully a little bit more than Fury refusing to look at his opponent.

The two fighters are set to take to the scales at around 6pm UK time, so stick around for a full build-up over the next hour or so.
