Footage of Tyson Fury in his dressing room before his heavyweight title rematch against Oleksandr Usyk has emerged - and it's got fans talking.

Fury takes on Usyk in Riyadh tonight looking to avenge his split decision loss against the Ukrainian in May which cost him his WBC heavyweight title.

'The Gypsy King' weighed in at 20st 1lbs - his career-high and 4st heavier than Usyk - on Friday, and has gone through gruelling pre-fight preparation which has included not speaking to his wife for three months.

This is the first time Fury will step between the ropes for a professional bout since that night in May.

And in footage posted by DAZN, fans have different views on Fury's demeanour just under two hours before the scheduled walk-ons.

One wrote: "Looks tense to me."

Another asked: "Relaxed? In what universe does he look relaxed there?"

But a third had a different view: "Love seeing this focused Tyson. Usyk is in trouble!"

And a fourth simply wrote: "Locked in."

While the first bout was an undisputed bout for all the recognised heavyweight belts, this time around will be different.

Only the WBC, WBO and WBA titles held by Usyk will be on the line in Riyadh, as the Ukrainian vacated the IBF title after his victory in May. It was won by Daniel Dubois, who knocked out Anthony Joshua in September.

The fight will also notably feature an AI-powered judge at ringside for the first time.

The judge, which tracks and analyses fighter movements and punches among other pieces of data, collects the entire set of data into a score for each round which will then be displayed at the end of the fight. The score, however, will not contribute to the official scorecard.
