The division’s biggest clash for 25 years will unify Fury’s WBC title with the WBA, IBF and WBO belts held by Usyk as two unbeaten rivals go head-to-head while still in their prime.
Thousands of fans from Great Britain and Ukraine have made the journey to Riyadh where a sold-out Kingdom Arena will finally see Lennox Lewis deposed as the last heavyweight king.
“Thank you to all those who have travelled over to support me,” said Fury, who is thought to be earning £100m for his night’s work.
“I know it’s tough at the moment and money is hard, so I aim to put on a show. I’m ready. Tough or easy, either way I will be ready.
“The belts belong in the UK and they will be coming home. The undisputed title does not belong to a Ukrainian.
