So much for frienship. He's trying to talk him out, this is a vicious Fury.

Chisora had a good minute. Then Fury had a good round.

Chisora immediately on the offensive, backing Fury into a corner. He knows he has to go all out to have a chance, he won't win on points - it has to be a knockout for the underdog.

When Fury gets his man back to the centre, he immediately takes the upper hand with a couple of big shots. Fury has the massive reach advantage, a cleaner fight suits him much more.

Fury has found his range and is into his stride very early on. Chisora's early fire has been dampened.

Chisora already being scolded by Loughlin for not touching gloves properly, the ref then has to shepherd him back to the corner.

He looks very fired up.

Seconds out, here we go...

Victor Loughlin is our referee tonight.

How much work will he have to do? How long will events last tonight? We shall soon see.

Now Three Lions is playing. The original song, not the (pretty good) new Christmas version.

It's another huge singalong in Tottenham.

Say what you like about Fury - and many people have - he knows how to make an entrance.

The ermine cloak is a good call, in this cold.

Now, wearing a yellow bobble hat and a red robe, here comes Fury...

A few boos but mostly cheers for Chisora, who enters tonight's bout as the clear underdog.

Jimmy Lennon Jr, our master of ceremonies tonight, is in the arena.

Here come the fighters...

Singing at full voice is a good way to take your mind off the cold too.

It is FREEZING in London tonight.

Speaking of Sweet Caroline, Fury's version is now being played out at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

It's a huge singalong, with phone torches lighting up the arena.

There aren't many fighters that walk to the scales for the weigh-in with a song they are singing in playing in the background.

But that's exactly what happened yesterday at the Business Design Centre in Islington as Tyson Fury, greeted by a brilliant reception, held his WBC belt aloft and headed to the stage with Sweet Caroline blaring out over the sound system.

That should be no surprise as it has seemingly become the unofficial sporting anthem for every event in Britain, but this one was not Neil Diamond's original. Instead this was Fury singing the words in his cover version released last month with all the proceeds going towards Talk Club, a men's mental health charity.

Then it was down to business with a hugely intense series of face-to-face showdowns between the two fighters.

The weigh-in ended with Fury, now in an England football shirt, promising carnage on Saturday, then adding that "Sunday, it's coming home", although England need to do a lot more than just beat Senegal in the last 16 of the World Cup for that to happen.

Tyson Fury's family including his wife Paris and two of his eldest children are by his side tonight.

The Gypsy King has six children with his childhood sweetheart. Paris has posted a backstage snap of the family.

"Family, can’t believe they're at the fight," she said. "I always said it’s not a place for little kids but they're not little kids no more, 11 & 13 and wanted to come soooo bad. So here we go! Come on."

Chisora too has some of his kids with him tonight. These heavyweights are proud fathers!

I think he [Fury] is in the right head space to fight. He loves to fight. We know the background he’s from and he talks about being real fighting men all the time.

Coming up with that traveller background, they love to fight. A lot of them are boxers. Tyson is a person that loves to fight, so I think he’s in the right head space.

The only my concern would be for this fight would be the fact he’s beaten Derek Chisora pretty comfortably twice before, and maybe overlook Chisora – there’s always a danger of that. But if he’s switched on, in my opinion he’s the best heavyweight of a generation.”

Right, after that excitement, now we focus on the main event...
