    I arrived here almost two hours before the start of the news conference and bagsied a seat on the third row. Media in the two front rows in my section have just been moved - those seats are reserved for Oleksandr Usyk's friends and family, apparently.

    I dare not move.

    It's midway through fight week but this is not just any old run of the mill fight week... this one concludes with THE biggest fight of the modern era.

    Sorry to get all Marks & Spencer on you there!

    All the heavyweight marbles are on the line this Saturday when WBA, IBF, WBO and Ring magazine champion Oleksandr Usyk meets WBC title-holder Tyson Fury in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

    Almost 25 years have passed since Briton Lennox Lewis was crowned as the last undisputed heavyweight champion.

    History will be made this weekend and we're here to guide you through the next three days.

    Any news conference with either Usyk or Fury is usually a fun-filled experience. Fortunately, this evening, both of them are going to be sat at the same table and we'll be bringing you a live stream on this page.

    Strap yourselves in, this could be a wild one!
