    I can tell you Robbie Williams has done a quick interview online in which he predicts a win for Tyson Fury in the seventh round.

    There you have it.

  3. As hot as the kitchen...published at 03:46 British Summer Time 16 June 2019

    Fury v Schwarz

    Gordon Ramsay probably has a decent uppercut on him. He's probably thrown a few shots in anger when someone overdid the blow torch on his Creme Brulee.

    Get him on the pads in the changing room lads.

    Danny Zentani: Wilder for me. He’s shown he’s got a solid chin and continues to destroy anyone in front of him.

    Hey: Wilder, because no matter who or when he can knock any one out at any given moment.

    Who is the world's best heavyweight? Forget records, belts, politics. Just let us know who would win if they all got it on.

    Deontay gets early shouts from Danny and Hey.

  5. 'Wilder isn't man enough'published at 03:41 British Summer Time 16 June 2019

    Fury v Schwarz

    As promised, here is the second of those videos.

    Watch and listen to Tyson Fury explain why Deontay Wilder will no longer reply to his texts.

    Media caption,

    Tyson Fury says Deontay Wilder isn't man enough to face him anymore or speak to him.

  6. 'Joshua is finished'published at 03:41 British Summer Time 16 June 2019

    Fury v Schwarz

    Media caption,

    Tyson Fury says Anthony Joshua is finished after his defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr.

    If you're catching up on the millions of twists and turns fight week offers, I highly recommend you watch the two videos I'll post back-to-back here of Tyson Fury speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live.

    They are funny and thought provoking throughout.

    Hit play and enjoy....

  7. Calm and chaos...published at 03:38 British Summer Time 16 June 2019

    Fury v Schwarz

    Back in the changing room, Tyson Fury's hands are wrapped, he's shadow boxing and almost ready. He's had countless people and cameras in and out of the changing room for the last hour. It's often a place of sanctuary and focus but it's been more of a circus in this instance.

    Still, a black and white photo makes even the craziest environment look chilled.

    Parker: I reckon Fury might struggle tonight. Schwarz looks like a decent opponent who will give Tyson a lot of trouble. Fury needs to put him down early.

    We're on #bbcboxing all night peeps.

    Who now sits at the top of the heavyweight division? Forget belts, records or bias, just tell me who is the world's best heavyweight?

    Simple.

    I'm on #bbcboxing. Hit me harder than a short right hook with your reply and give a reason if you can too.

  11. 'Gypsy King style'published at 03:30 British Summer Time 16 June 2019

    Fury v Schwarz

    Tyson Fury speaks in his dressing room - sporting the red robe he wore on UK TV earlier this week: "I have come from a dark place and want to show the world there is a light out there. I'm doing this for the depressed and oppressed people around the world.

    "We are going to go out there and have fun Gypsy King style.

    "The walk out will be fun, enjoy it as it will only happen once."

  12. Underdog price change...published at 03:28 British Summer Time 16 June 2019

    Fury v Schwarz

    I can tell you there is word coming back from Las Vegas that Tom Schwarz is fancied as an outsider.

    The German has moved from 17-1 at the start of the week to 7-1 on fight night.

    Former world heavyweight champion David Haye tells BT Sport: “People are looking at the underdog now. There must have been an influx of cash for them to drop the odds.

    “On paper he can’t pull it off but all it takes is one shot to mess things up.”

  13. Welcome to the strip!published at 03:23 British Summer Time 16 June 2019

    Fury v Schwarz

    So welcome one and all to this live-text covering off heavyweight action from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Tyson Fury - who tends to bring the chaos - against a relatively unknown German called Tom Schwarz.

    Some hour or so from now, Schwarz could put himself up there in lights on the Vegas strip and shudder the world of boxing, just like Andy Ruiz Jr did a fortnight ago. If he doesn't then you can bank on a Fury sing song.

    It'll all be in this live service and what is more, there will be BBC Radio 5 Live commentary available by clicking play at the top of this page.

    What more could you ask for?

    Thanks for being with us.

  14. A second shock?published at 03:06 British Summer Time 16 June 2019

    Fury v Schwarz

    The ground has just about stopped vibrating from that Madison Square Garden shock on 1 June, where Anthony Joshua's belts went to Mexico.

    Now it's time for Tyson Fury to try to add to his momentum and move that bit closer to a shot at the titles he of course gave up after winning them in 2015.

    We can't get another shock? Can we?
