Fury has had three months to recover ever since pulling out of the original February 17 bout with an eye injury.
And he touched down in Saudi Arabia this weekend with a massive entourage featuring his family, friends and trainer SugarHill Steward.
Fury and Co looked thrilled as they posed for photos in Riyadh.
The group were presented with incredible bouquets of flowers and given hot drinks after an arduous seven-hour flight from the UK.

They were then whisked away in cars to their hotels for a much-needed sleep.
But there was no sign of Fury’s brother Tommy in Saudi.
The Love Island star is usually a close member of the pack but did not appear to be on board the flight.
Last month saw Tommy jet to Disneyland Paris with partner Molly-Mae Hague and one-year-old daughter Bambi.
The trio enjoyed the sights and sounds of the theme park while also gorging on burgers and fries.
Meanwhile, Fury has been tipped to use “dirty tricks” to get the better of Usyk.
Former cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson told Sky Sports: “Tyson is a fighting man, once the bell goes he’ll try everything he can possibly get away with until the referee tells him off.
“Will it get physical? Yes. Will he use every dirty trick in the book he can get away with?

“Without a doubt. It’s a fighting game. Most fighters when they get in there they play by the rules.
“And when they get hit low or with an elbow they complain to the referee and then while complaining they get beat up.”
