Lennox Lewis is siding with Tyson Fury to win tonight's rematch but only if he takes it seriously and avoids mucking around like he did at times in the first contest.

"Tyson Fury wins this because he is the bigger man. He will use his jab and needs to throw more punches than the first fight. He can't muck around and needs to be totally serious," Lewis told BBC Sport.

"Usyk is good at making you pay. He moves well and that movement is to make you miss and then make you pay.

"It's not easy to move around the ring for 12 rounds and I think it will come down to who seizes the moment, who has the best stamina and who punches the most accurate."

Demsey McKean is a real step-up fight for Briton Moses Itauma.

The Australian has only lost once, in an IBF world-title eliminator against Filip Hrgovic last year. He has an opportunity to tear up the script and show he belongs at the top level.

Heavyweight Frazer Clarke: "Fury can make amends and you can never doubt him, but I do think Usyk will win."

Light-welterweight Jack Catterall: "We’ve seen a lot of good early rounds from Fury, so it’ll be interesting to see if he has made adjustments and whether they can be enough against Usyk, who can adapt to anything. As a British fighter I want Fury to win, but my head says it won’t be enough against a fighter like Usyk."

American fighter Regis Prograis: "I picked Fury the first time, I’ll pick Fury again. Usyk is a beast, you can put him up there as one of the best ever, he’s hot, he has beaten everyone – AJ twice, Fury, Danny Dubois. But I have got to go with the big man."

There is so much excitement surrounding Moses Itauma. Hailing from Chatham in Kent, the 19-year-old is considered Britain's next heavyweight hope. Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are nearing the end. At 27, IBF world champion Daniel Dubois still has years in him, but he feels like he's been around forever.

At the age of 16, Itauma was knocking grown men out in sparring. With eight knockouts in 10 pro fights, he has done the business in the ring. Outside of it, he's level headed, aspirational and, with age, is starting to become a good talker.

He may just be the full package.

Next up is the co-main event with Briton Moses Itauma facing Australian Demsey McKean.

Leeds' Ishmael Davis has been pulled out by his corner in the sixth round after a dominant display from Ukraine's Serhii Bohachuk. He is now the mandatory challenger for Sebastian Fundora’s WBC World Super Welterweight title.

A spirited performance from Davis, who stepped in on short notice.

We brought you the express version of Thursday's 11 minute and 20 second face off earlier but there was no need to fast forward Friday's meeting between the pair.

Tyson Fury was keen to get off stage and after just seven seconds and a bit of shadow boxing, he made his exit.

All boxers are scared of losing and every fighter thinks they're better than what they are. So when you stay undefeated you are in a situation where you don't think it will end. Then when that time comes, it can be a big shock to the system.

For me, the best way to deal with it was to get back in the ring as soon as I could. I knew I was good enough to win a world title so I was training after an operation on my elbow and my mind was reset. Two fights later, became world champion.

Oleksandr Usyk took a while to settle into the first contest against Tyson Fury and the Briton led on all three of the judges' scorecards after seven rounds.

Usyk's boxing IQ is one of his greatest assets and he came on strong after adjusting his gameplan - even forcing a standing count on Fury in the ninth round.

With 12 rounds of data to build on, Usyk has refused to give anything away when asked this week.

"I learned a little bit [from the first fight] but I [will] not tell you. After my second win I will talk to you. It's not secret but maybe greedy belly will watch the TV," Usyk told BBC Sport.

Oblong Cassidy: "The Clash are on call to help Fury.

"Should I shave or should I grow?

"If I shave there will be stubble if I grow it's gonna double.

"So come on and let me know.

"SHOULD I SHAVE OR SHOULD I GROW?"

A fully clothed Tyson Fury - leather jacket and all - tipped the scales at a career-heavy 20st 1lb when he weighed-in yesterday.

His true weight remains a mystery but that puts him at eight pounds heavier than when he fought Oleksandr Usyk in May.

Usyk, who was also fully clothed, was announced at 16st 2lb - a career-heavy too.

Speaking about the weight of the two fighters, Queensberry's Frank Warren, who promoted Fury, said: "You can analyse it anyway you like but tomorrow night you're going to find out who is the best.

"You know both of them will come to fight. We are going to see something extra, extra special."

At the grand arrivals, fighters were seated on a Boeing 777 on a makeshift runway. A day later, Fury and Usyk arrived to the open workout on a boat. Thursday's news conference was held inside a venue described as the most luxury mall in the country – so luxurious, in fact, one of the store sold supercars costing in their millions.

It all makes for a great spectacle, in another example of Saudi Arabia's growing influence on the sport.

Yet the events have also not been well attended and boxing has still not cut through to the wider public in Saudi.

Speaking to taxi drivers, hotel staff and any general public I've crossed paths with, the locals generally have no idea that there is a boxing event happening.

If Fury wins and there is a trilogy, it would be quite nice to bring it to the UK.
