- PATRICK HILL

TYSON Fury and Oleksandr Usyk had to be separated by security after squaring up at the weigh-in ahead of their undisputed title fight.

The pair butted heads and shouted insults in each other's face as they psyched themselves up for the biggest bout of their respective careers.

Among the usual pantomime of the weigh-in there appeared to be some real venom, with both boxers vying to become the first unified world heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.

Speaking immediately afterwards, Fury said: "We're ready to rock and roll. Fireworks tomorrow night.

"I'm going to knock this little f***er spark out. I'm coming for his heart. F*** his belts. I'm coming for his f***ing heart. He's getting it tomorrow, spark out. F*** him and f*** all of his team too. F*** the lot of 'em. They can all get it if they want it."

The British star then stormed off stage after shouting "s***houses".

Usyk, meanwhile, managed to keep his cool composure despite the on-stage flare-up.

He had a simple message for his Mancunian opponent, saying: "Don't be afraid, I won't leave you alone.
