Tyson Fury's body language during interview just days before Oleksandr Usyk fight has seriously worried fight fans

Tyson Fury's body language during an interview just days before his fight against Oleksandr Usyk has seriously worried fans.

Defending champion Usyk and Fury run it back on Saturday following their undisputed showdown last May.

The Ukrainian edged out the Brit by split decision to become undisputed world heavyweight champion.

Both fighters have arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, ahead of their monstrous clash.

On Wednesday, they went through their paces in an open workout.

But Fury didn't throw a single punch during his open workout as he appeared to troll everyone in attendance.

Speaking in the ring, he was asked about his fight and gave very few words: "A lot of pain," he exclaimed, before adding: "Smash and damage."

Asked about his beard, which has come under scrutiny, Fury replied: "A lot of hurt."

He concluded: "Hurt. Serious hurt. A lot of damage."

But 'The Gypsy King's interview worried boxing fans online as many are now backing Usyk to secure another win.

One X user claimed: "Said the same thing last time and got outclassed. I can sense that low sense of confidence and his body language looks it. Usyk will get him out of there late."

A second said: "Emotional man, is a weak man. USYK BY TKO."

A third added: "Intimidating? He’s just sulking like a child and looks edgy and nervous, like he doesn’t wanna be there."

A fourth argued: "He's all business. However, he has to be careful going in for a knockout in the early rounds. Usyk has already proven that he can hurt him and if he does I think he’ll have enough energy to finish him off."

A fifth commented: "As much as Fury is a slick, top notch boxer, I feel Usyk is even better. Has the speed and ring IQ to win this, and he knows he can hurt Fury. Usky win by stoppage later rounds."

Fury surrendered the WBC title in his defeat to Usyk, who will be putting his WBA (super), WBO and WBC belts on the line in their rematch.
