Speaking ahead of the fight. Fury was his usual confident self. "I'm ready. I've got nothing to say. I'm ready for a good fight. If it's tough or easy. Either way, I'll be ready,” the 35-year-old said.
"God bless him [Usyk]. I'll say a prayer for him before the fight for us both to get out of the ring safely."
The Ukranian was less talkative in the build-up to the fight, after simply adding: "Let's make history. Enough."
