The Gypsy King suffered the “freak” injury just two weeks before the fight was scheduled.

However, a new date was quickly confirmed and they will take to the ring in Saudi Arabia to fight for the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF titles.

Both fighters are aiming to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis more than two decades ago.

Fury vs Usyk: What was said?

At the final press conference, Fury refused to look at Usyk and when asked why he didn’t look at his opponent, he replied: “He’s a scary guy.”

He spoke the words to Rocky IV’s theme song “Hearts on Fire” as they faced off and said, “I want to thank God for the victory I’ve already received.

“I want to thank people for organizing this event and I want to thank Oleksandr Usyk for challenging me.

“I’m ready. I don’t have anything else to say except that I’m ready for a good fight.”

Usyk wasn’t in a talkative mood either, as he simply said: “Let the hands do the talking.”
