But it was the size 14 slip-ons and the warrior war cry that got the travelling fans going most.
The sockless star bellowed: “I have done everything right in 10 weeks here, I am ready for anything they chuck at me
“I am fit and strong and ready for Saturday, this is the biggest heavyweight fight for 50 years.
“I am going for a second-round knockout 100 per cent”
“They can expect the most exciting fight in 50 years, I know he is coming for a fight and so am I.
“I am not scared even scared of the devil. If the devil confronted me, I would confront him as well.
“Who is ready for a f***ing war? Let’s go!”

Fury was forced to wait for the American WBC champ to turn up to the first major media event of the week.
The freshly-shaved ace looked eager to get his showbiz duties over and done with so Wilder was wise in making him wait and he eventually left without a head-to-head happening.
When the Bronze Bomber arrived, wearing his own outrageous glittering footwear and fur-collared coat, he roared: “This win will show the world what greatness lies within me.
“It will be my 11th consecutive title defence that will tie me with my idol Muhammad Ali and I will go on and do great things from that.
“This is the hurt business and hopefully we are able to come out as healthy as we go in but we both have bad intentions for this fight.
“We are colliding to have an amazing fight but hopefully we can embrace each other and congratulate each other on what a great job we did.
“I have wanted to give fans the best versus the best.
“Whatever network or management you are on, this is proof that the fights can be made. That’s the only way we will really know the best in the division is.”
