Tyson Fury refuses to throw a single punch and gives bizarre interview at open workout for Oleksandr Usyk rematch
Tyson Fury’s open workout was done and dusted very quickly. ‘The Gypsy King’ spent more time travelling to the open workout on a boat than he did in the actual ring. DAZNFury was out of the ring like a flash[/caption] It took an agonising four minutes for Fury and his team to make it across a body of water over to the Riyadh plaza. When he arrived, his trainer SugarHill Steward laced up his gloves, only for Fury to bow to his adoring crowd and take them off again. Usually a man of many words, Fury then evaded all of DAZN reporter Claudia Trejos’ questions by reiterating that he is going to dish out ‘a lot of pain’ on Saturday night. Fury has been avoiding interviews with national broadcasters since the Grand Arrivals on Tuesday but his trainer, Steward, gave some insight into his fighter’s mentality heading into fight night. “It was a little workout,” Steward laughed. “We gave it our best. “Tyson Fury is just ready right now, along with myself. He’s always had like a silly demeanour and [been] playing around, but this is a different side of him. “He’s just ready, 100 per cent ready. It’s how we normally train [aggressively]… “I was taught by Emmanuel Steward – and pain, hurting people and knockouts are always written on the walls of the Kronk Gym. “The harder you work, the bigger the reward. The sacrifice. “Everything that is boxing, that is what he is bringing forward on Saturday. That is what his mind is geared into.” View Tweet: https://twitter.com/Tyson_Fury?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw View Tweet: https://twitter.com/usykaa?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Usyk then made his way over on another boat and performed some shadow boxing in the ring accompanied by a live performance from a Ukrainian singer.
