New footage of the face-off between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk has emerged online, with microphones picking up every word of their heated on-stage interaction.

Ahead of Saturday night's heavyweight bout for the WBC, WBA and WBO titles in Riyadh, both Fury and Usyk took part in a pre-fight press conference that was unusually quiet in large parts.

Fury, who is widely known for being one of the best trash-talkers in the game, was uncharacteristically sombre as he sat down alongside promoters Frank Warren and Bob Arum.

"The talking has been done," he said. "The first fight, I've talked and joked, all my career. This time I'm serious. I'm going to do some f****** damage. Watch me go to work on this f*****."

But a short time later, Fury unleashed a scathing, expletive-laden tirade at Usyk in what turned out to be a staredown that lasted over 11 minutes.

As you can see from the footage above, Fury said he is going to "annihilate" his Ukrainian opponent. "You're going to wake up hospital," he said, before making some rather personal comments about Usyk.

After the intense face-off, Fury joined a local group of men in a traditional Saudi Arabian dance.

Here's how fans on social media reacted to the clip.

One said: "Fury so pressed whereas Usyk couldn't give a bollocks. Only one winner here!" while another commented: "Fury is rattled."

A third wrote: "The mind games backfired last time, now Usyk lives in Fury's head rent free. Usyk is just calm and collected as always. Going in like an angry madman against Usyk won't work, it needs to be like a game of chess as he is always a few steps ahead. Fury has a big task ahead."

A fourth said: "Fury doing too much here I think. Might mean nothing if the right shot lands, but he's really trying to gee himself up for this. I think Usyk wins by stoppage."

A fifth added: "He’s completely rattled again, I expected to be able to have at least some sort of composure."

The self-confessed Gypsy King has admitted that he needs to be more focused this time around, but will he come out on top? Let us know in the comments.
