Tyson Fury insists the time for joking is over as he pledged to put unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in the “hurt locker” when they clash for the second time in Riyadh on Saturday.

Fury has cut a menacing figure at the week’s promotional events and Thursday’s head to head press conference continued along the same theme as the usually verbose 36-year-old Briton kept the talking to a minimum.
