Fury was in good spiritsCredit: DAZNBut it seemed he would rather be watching it from home.
Asked by DAZN how it felt to be watching as a fan, Fury said: “It’s good to be here watching the boxing, ringside, watching the fights.
“But, it’s better at home, watching it on tele if I’m honest!

In typical Fury fashion, he then gave an expletive verdict on the main event: “They’re gonna knock the little s*** out of each other.
“It’s going to be a good fight I’m looking forward to it.”
DAZN’s Ade Oladipo then had to issue an apology live on air for Fury’s bad language.
Later in the night, he also spoke to TNT Sports.
Asked what his mindset would be if he was AJ or Dubois, Fury replied: “Go in, get paid, get laid.”
He then added, ‘don’t apologise,’ but the broadcasters did so regardless.

Saudi boxing chief HE Turki Alalshikh is planning to stage Joshua vs Fury next, which has long been at the top of his boxing wishlist.
The Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority recently told talkSPORT that he is open to making the fight even if Fury loses the rematch to Usyk on December 21.

“For the business, of course, it will be a huge fight if Joshua wins,” he told talkSPORT’s White and Jordan show.
“His third time [winning] a world title and [after] the result of Usyk vs Fury it will be a huge fight.
“But you don’t know about the future. Imagine Tyson after the fight with Usyk wants to retire.
“I will give him the offer, but if he refuses, what can I do?
“First of all, Dubois has a very big chance and it is not easy.
“I think it is a difficult fight for Joshua and a dangerous fight for Joshua.
“If Usyk wins, still I want to see Fury vs Joshua if they accept.
“I will not try to do the third fight [between Usyk and Joshua] before having Fury vs Joshua.
“I think Joshua will win [against Dubois] but you don’t know.
“I picked Deontay Wilder against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang, and he lost. This is boxing, especially the heavyweights.

However, if Dubois upsets the odds it could be him standing across from Fury next – or even Usyk if HE Alalshikh desires.
