Fans have reacted to Tyson Fury's early arrival in Saudi Arabia ahead of his fight against Oleksandr Usyk.
'The Gypsy King' will take on Usyk on February 17 in Saudi Arabia. The highly anticipated undisputed heavyweight championship matchup was scheduled to go down last month in December; however, Fury was deemed unable to compete after his bout against Francis Ngannou in October.
The bout holds a lot of significance as the winner of Fury vs. Usyk will become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since heavyweight legend Lennox Lewis. Lewis accomplished that feat well over two decades ago. While there have been some great heavyweight champions since then, none have been able to win all the belts.

Anthony Joshua believes Francis Ngannou defeated Tyson Fury
The result of Francis Ngannou vs. Tyson Fury caused a lot of controversy. On the night, 'The Gypsy King' managed to edge a split decision despite being knocked down. While speaking about it during an interview with TNT Sports, Anthony Joshua gave his thoughts on the result.
While suggesting that the former UFC heavyweight champion won the bout according to him, Joshua said:
“I think Ngannou won … Bodybuilders up, dossers down. He just looked like a flat slob that can't fight. He said bodybuilders can't fight, but he got smacked up by one… Good luck to him, but he's gotta stop running his mouth because it does come back and bite you.”
