Tyson Fury appears to be missing a key family member as his team have landed in Saudi Arabia ahead of his monstrous fight against Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury arrived in Riyadh on Saturday for his undisputed clash against Usyk, which takes place on May 18.

He will defend his WBC world title against the unbeaten Ukrainian, who puts his WBA (super), IBF and WBO belts on the line.

Their bout later this month comes after Fury was forced to withdraw from their original meeting on February 17 after he suffered a nasty cut in sparring.

Despite the contest being just a couple of weeks away, Usyk's promoter, Alexander Krassyuk, still has concerns over the Brit as he named a replacement fighter.

But the self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' has touched down in the Middle East to compete for all marbles in the heavyweight division.

And he has seemingly done so without Tommy Fury in his entourage.

Fury shared a post on Instagram of his camp being greeted by Saudi Arabia officials and Tommy is nowhere to be seen.

The 24-year-old, who hasn't fought since his victory over KSI last year, is normally with his older brother for his fights.

But there appears to be no sign of the former Love Island star ahead of Fury vs. Usyk.

'Big' John Fury, however, was among the travelling party, with the 35-year-old calling him the 'secret weapon' in his training camp.

He said: "I've got my dad in camp this time, so I've got my secret weapon over there as well. I've got Ty Mitchell in, all the boys and all the girls are in camp. So we've got a full circus camp. Can't do anymore really."

Fury hasn't fought since his controversial victory over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou last October.

Usyk, on the other hand, last fought when he stopped Daniel Dubois last August.
