Tyson Fury’s son Prince has been spotted posing alongside Oleksandr Usyk ahead of Saturday’s titanic clash.
‘The Gypsy King’ takes on the Ukrainian in Saudi Arabia for the chance to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. There has been plenty of thrilling build-up ahead of the fight, with both boxer’s families getting fully involved.
Just hours ahead of the fight itself, Fury’s son Prince John James Fury, was spotted taking a picture with his father’s upcoming opponent. In a snap shared to social media, the youngster, born in 2011, was standing next to Usyk with a fist up.
Usyk did not get fully involved with the snap as he stood simply with his hands in his pockets. He just stared blankly at the camera.

Fury jr’s photo is not the first time that each boxer’s family has got involved in the build-up to Saturday’s fight. After a week of largely respectful exchanges between Fury and Usyk, the fuse was lit for the Kingdom Arena clash at a fiery weigh in.
Fury shoved the Olympic gold medallist at the final stare down before the unbeaten rivals meet to decide the greatest heavyweight of their generation. Fury, the WBC champion, then unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade at Usyk and promised “fireworks”.
“I’m going to knock this little f***er spark out. I’m coming for his heart, that’s what I’m coming for,” Fury said. “F*** his belts, I’m coming for his f***ing heart. F*** him and f*** all of his team too. F*** the lot of them. They can all get it if they want too, s***houses!”
