FROM MARTIN DOMIN in Riyadh TYSON FURY stands on the precipice of history.
He is little more than half an hour away from becoming the first man in 25 years who can, without dispute, call himself the best heavyweight in the world.
He is primed to be Britain's richest sportsperson thanks to an £80million payday which will rank him among the highest-earning athletes on the planet.
And only Oleksandr Usyk stands between him and recognition as one of the country's greatest-ever sports stars.
But for Fury, fame is a lonely word.
So much so he finds solace only behind the high walls of his gated mansion where clamouring fans can't hassle him.
Or down deserted paths while walking his dog alone for fear the Rottweiler's jaws will land him in court.
