Day two of three in the bag.

From a dull news conference on Thursday to a fun-filled, chaotic weigh-in on Friday, it has been a contrasting couple of days.

Let's just hope tomorrow night delivers.

It is after all a historic occasion with the two best heavyweights in the game set to fight for all the marbles.

Get a good rest tonight because it's going to be a long one tomorrow night.

You can rewatch the weigh-in at the top of this page and there's plenty of content on the boxing index - click here - to get you in the mood.

Thanks for joining us and make sure you're back from 19:00 BST tomorrow!

I. CAN'T. WAIT.

I know what you're all thinking, what time can we come and join you tomorrow night?

Well, we will be bringing you live text coverage 19:00 BST.

That means you better stock up on snacks, we'll be doing that from our base here in Salford, and find a comfy spot on the sofa because it's going to be a long one.

Kal Sajad and Sam Harris are in Riyadh for us and should be thrilling us with insights through the evening.

If you cast our mind back to March when Anthony Joshua fought Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia, the Briton only emerged for his ringwalk at 00:24 UK time.

Organisers are aiming for an earlier start for Usyk-Fury but their ringwalk is not expected before 23:00 BST.

Interested in who is on the undercard? Who is the referee? Who are the judges? You can find all the answers to those questions, plus more by clicking here.

We'll have plenty of content to keep you going through the night and will be across the IBF super-featherweight title bout when Joe Cordina defends against Anthony Cacace as well as Jai Opetaia's IBF cruiserweight title defence against Mairis Briedis.

On 30 April 2023, BBC Sport asked: why are boxing’s biggest fights not happening?

Fans were fed up and rival promoters were playing the blame game as egos, finances and broadcaster commitments got in the way.

Twelve months later, the sport is almost unrecognisable – thanks largely to the involvement of energy-rich Saudi Arabia.

On Saturday, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk contest the undisputed heavyweight world title fight in Riyadh – the latest high-profile fight to be held in the Saudi capital in recent months.

Boxing has been given a facelift but, as with most cosmetic procedures, there are risks attached.

Fighters are earning high pay cheques, yet just a handful of British fans can afford the luxury of travelling to the Middle East.

Promoters are working together but critics point to a “flat” atmosphere in Saudi Arabia.

With ongoing allegations of 'sportswashing' directed at the nation added to the mix, BBC Sport explores the impact of the Saudi boxing takeover and what it means for the fight game closer to home.

Read more from Kal Sajad here.

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk were initially scheduled to meet on 17 February but bout was postponed until 18 May after the Briton suffered a "freak" cut in training.

Usyk, who missed the birth of his daughter on 28 January as he trained in his camp in Spain, spoke to BBC Sport the day after he heard the date had been pushed back.

The Ukrainian was calm and composed, despite dealing with a major setback, insisting he still has complete respect for Fury.

How about those glasses too?

Derek Chisora with the loveliest of sentiments after I asked for a prediction…

“Whoever comes out on top, it doesn’t matter. Boxing is the ultimate winner here.”

“To have this many fans, all the way in the Middle East, it’s going to be electric!”

There were so many people on that stage with belts being waved all over the place when Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk were trying to get up close and personal.

It felt like they were getting ready to record the new Band Aid single.

Anyway, somehow the two fighters managed to find each other - it'll be much easier tomorrow night - and we got the fireworks we've been waiting for all week.

We came away from last night's news conference feeling slightly underwhelmed but it has ramped up several gears now!

Well that's the weigh-ins out of the way.

Oleksandr Usyk comes in at 16st 6lb and Tyson Fury is 18st 7lb - a 29lb difference!

How pivotal could that gap prove to be?

The pair have gone in opposite directions.

Usyk is at a career-high weight.

Fury is the lightest he has been since 2019 when he weighed in at 18st 1lb for his fight with Otto Wallin.

We've been waiting all week for some scenes and we got some tonight...

It's all over with the weigh-ins and the video live stream at the top of this page has ended.

If you missed any of that then you can rewind.

Well, if you didn’t feel it yesterday. You’ll be feeling it now. That’s the most we’ve seen from either fighter all week in terms of talking and action.

The fans have definitely livened it right up in Riyadh.

Oleksandr Usyk:

"Don't be afraid. I will not leave you along tomorrow."

On what message his late father would have given him before the fight: "Son, you can."

On whether he is feeling the pressure: "It's my plan. If I was nervous I wouldn't win."

Message to fans: "I love you! See you tomorrow!"

WBC champion Tyson Fury:

"I'm going to knock him right out.

"I'm coming for his heart. He's getting it tomorrow, spark out. They [his team] can all get it if they want it."

Fury ends the interview abruptly and storms off the stage.

The pair have another face-off and this time it gets messy.

They go head-to-head and then Tyson Fury pushes Oleksandr Usyk in the chest.

“FINALLY!” One fan chants behind me, presumably unimpressed with the lack of action at yesterday’s press conference…

Tyson fury weighs-in at 18st 7lb.

That is more than a stone lighter than he was against Francis Ngannou and the lightest he has been since his fight with Otto Wallin in 2019.

He is still almost 30lb heavier than Usyk!

It’s hard not to notice ALL of the gold being held up by Usyk’s camp here He’s one more belt away from claiming it all.
