Fury takes on Usyk in a heavyweight title rematch tonight.
Fans have spotted Tyson Fury’s kit just seconds into his fight against Oleksandr Usyk – and they’re all saying the same thing.
Fury takes on Usyk in a heavyweight title rematch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia after losing via split decision in their first fight in May.
‘The Gypsy King’ has had gruelling pre-fight preparations and weighed in at a career-high 20st 1lbs.
Both fighters attended a rules meeting with the Middle East Boxing Commission on Friday and had several issues cleared – including whether Fury had to shave his newly-grown beard.
‘The Gypsy King’ walked into the ring to a rendition of Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas’, with an all-red outfit.

But seeing the Brit in the ring just seconds into his fight, fans have had the same thing to say after seeing his shorts.
One wrote: “His shorts are pulled up way too high. Surely there should be some rules on high a boxer can pull up shorts.”
“Fury’s shorts are reaching new heights tonight,” another said.
A third stated: “Those shorts are ridiculous.”
A fourth added: “Fury’s shorts are comically high.”
Another said: “Can’t believe they’re allowing Fury to have his shorts that high.”
Once the fight got underway, there appeared to be little to separate the fighters in the opening two rounds – although Fury landed a punch that appeared to slightly rock his opponent.
Usyk then landed a meaningful blow of his own in round four as both fighters settled into the bout.
Fury had a less-than-typical build-up to the bout, cutting himself off from his family for three months and refusing to speak to media after the weigh-in on Friday.
He is looking to win back the WBC title belt that he lost to Usyk in May, with the WBA and WBO belts also in the line in Saudi Arabia.
