Boxers Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk had to be separated by security at a heated weigh-in.
The atmosphere was tense as Fury and Usyk faced off in an intense staredown, their eyes locked in a fierce battle before their upcoming heavyweight title fight on Saturday. Security had to step in to keep the two fighters apart during their final weigh-in.

Tyson Fury, known as 'The Gypsy King', weighed in at 262lbs, his lightest weight since coming back to boxing in 2018. On the other hand, Usyk, who made a flashy entrance by dancing his way to the scales, weighed in at 233.5lbs.

After a press conference on Thursday where Fury refused to engage with Usyk, things changed on Friday when the two came face to face. Security had to intervene as tensions rose and the situation became heated. It was a far cry from the peaceful exchange of words and stares just the day before.

Fury, the WBC champion, and Usyk, who holds the IBF, WBO, and WBA titles, are both vying for the title of undisputed heavyweight champion, a feat that has not been achieved since Lennox Lewis 25 years ago. The build-up to this fight has been filled with tension, especially after an incident where Fury's father, John Fury, headbutted a member of Usyk's team on Monday.

When asked for a comment, Fury simply stated, "I'm ready. I have nothing else to say. I'm just ready for a good fight, whether it's tough or easy. God bless him, and I'll say a prayer for both of us to come out of the ring safely."

As the fight approaches, fans are eagerly anticipating the showdown between these two skilled fighters. Looking back at their previous weigh-ins, Fury's fighting weights have ranged from 277.75lbs to 262lbs, while Usyk's have stayed consistent at around 220lbs. It will be interesting to see how these weights will affect their performance in the ring.

Despite the tension and heated exchanges, both fighters have shown respect for each other and are ready to give it their all in the ring. The stage is set for a thrilling match, and fans are in for a treat as Fury and Usyk battle for the title of undisputed heavyweight champion.
