Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou are finally set to face off in Saudi Arabia this Saturday, and as usual Big John Fury has been the most entertaining part of the build-up; going ballistic at press events, challenging Mike Tyson to a fight, and then taking his shirt off and trying to join in with the face-off between his son and Ngannou.
Here are all the highlights from last night’s press event:

What a guy. I guess it’s good to have a bit of comic relief at these events rather than just being super intense and serious all the time. Both fighters actually seem pretty relaxed and there’s clearly no hard feelings between the pair, but it will be interesting to see if that’s the case once the final bell rings on Saturday. Fury is obviously the heavy favourite, but at the end of the day, it’s a fight – anything can happen.
The main card is expected to start at 6pm BST (10am PT, 12pm CT, 1pm ET). Ring walks for the main event are then expected at around 10.45pm BST (2.45pm PT, 4.45pm CT, 5.45pm ET).
