Tyson Fury's eldest son strikes a pose next to Oleksandr Usyk just hours before the Gypsy King's undisputed heavyweight title fight in Saudi Arabia

Tyson Fury's eldest son was seen posing for a picture alongside Oleksandr Usyk just hours before their undisputed heavyweight title fight. 

After months of build-up, Fury and Usyk will finally settle their differences in Riyadh on Saturday night to determine the best heavyweight on the planet.

Tensions have been running high between the two for months now and during the weigh-ins, Fury had a heated clash with his Ukrainian counter-part.

However, Fury's son - Prince John James - appears to have a more lenient view on the situation and was seen posing alongside Usyk just a few hours before the fight. 

In an Instagram post, Prince posed with his fist in the air while the heavyweight star stood with his hands in either pocket. 

While Usyk appeared amicable towards Fury's son, the same can not be said for his attitude towards the Gypsy King which was exemplified at the weigh-ins.

Tempers flared after both fighters had stepped off the scales before the heavyweights squared off and butted heads on stage. 

A fracas subsequently broke out with Fury appearing to push Usyk away from him, before the pair were pulled away by their respective teams.

Fury then unleashed a furious tirade to a DAZN reporter, shouting: 'I’m coming for his heart. F*** his belts, I’m coming for his f***ing heart. 

'I’m going to knock him spark out. F*** all his team, f*** the lot of them! They can all get it if they want to. S***houses!'

The Gypsy King was also asked how he was feeling after the face-off, to which he replied: 'I'm ready to rock and roll tonight, I'm going to knock this little f***er spark out.' 

The winner of the Saudi showdown will become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999, so it proves to be a huge bout for both men.

Fury and Usyk sat down at a press conference on Thursday in Saudi Arabia, with Fury refusing to face-off against Usyk, folding his arms and staring out towards the audience inside the arena as the Ukrainian stared him down. 

When asked why he didn't face off against Usyk, Fury had told Sky Sports, 'He's a scary-looking dude.' 

He added: 'I'm just here to relax now and wait until I get into the ring on Saturday night. All the talking is done, all the interviewing is done. I'm really relaxed and focused.' 

Usyk said: 'Let's make history. Enough.' 

The next day, there was plenty of confusion after Usyk's weight was incorrectly announced as 233lbs at the weigh-in on Friday.

Usyk would have weighed in 12.6lbs heavier than his last fight against Daniel Dubois back in August 2023.

Ring announcer Michael Buffer had reportedly misheard the weight officials had said after Usyk had taken to the scales, leading to the wrong figure being announced.

Video footage of the weigh in on social media revealed the officials had actually announced that Usyk had weighed in at 223lbs.

A number of sport's biggest stars are set to be in attendance on the night - including the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Anthony Joshua and Steven Gerrard.

Joshua is set to be an interested observer after winning his last four fights, knowing that he could potentially face the winner in the next 12 months.

The British star will be sat next to Ronaldo, who has shown himself to be a keen boxing fan over the years.

Fury is guaranteed £81.5million from the ‘Ring Of Fire’ clash, meanwhile Usyk is set to pocket £35million from the bout in Saudi Arabia.

The sum will see the Gypsy King rise up the Forbes ranking of the world’s highest paid athletes. 

The 35-year-old was placed at 42nd on the business magazine’s list for 2024 ahead of his bid to hold of all the available world titles.

Saturday’s fight is Fury’s second straight contest in Saudi Arabia after his showdown with UFC star turned boxer Francis Ngannou last year, where the Gypsy King was reported to have banked £65m. 

Usyk has also returned to the Saudi Arabia, the scene of his second win over Anthony Joshua in 2022. The contest was one of four Joshua fights to have taken place in the nation.

The Briton has benefited significantly from the wealth Saudi Arabia has poured into the sport. Joshua was estimated to have secured a staggering £39m sum when he brutally dispatched Ngannou in March.

Fury will be the next big beneficiary, with the 35-year-old believed to have secured a 70 per cent purse split as the WBC title holder bids to take the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO belts from Usyk.
