TYSON FURY has modelled a dazzling watch ahead of his clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
The Gypsy King and the Ukrainian have both been gifted a Jacob and Co watch as a keepsake for the heavyweight showdown in Saudi Arabia this weekend.
The limited edition ‘Ring of Fire’ timepiece is made from rose gold and includes sapphire crystals as well as an anti-reflective coating.
However, the boxing stars will not be keeping the watches as they will instead be auctioned on May 17.
The auction will be held by Sotheby’s, and all proceeds will go to Make-A-Wish International.
Speaking about the watch, Fury insisted that the buyer will get to own a “bit of boxing history”.

“This is a rare and incredible timepiece, and I hope it can raise lots
of cash for an important global cause.
“I’d also like to thank everyone who has been involved in putting this together.”
The watch is made up of 384 components and includes 42 jewels.

Usyk also made a statement about the watch and is looking forward to the auction.
He added: “I look forward to the auction and seeing who will be fortunate enough to achieve the winning bid and share with me in owning this masterpiece.
“I encourage everyone who can to get involved so we see a big donation to help with the good work of Make-A-Wish International.
“This watch is an excellent allegory of the limited time given to us by God in this world to help others and make it a better place to live.”
Saudi boxing kingpin Turki Alalshikh added: “This is an incredible and rare opportunity to own a piece of boxing history.
“The magnitude of this fight cannot be underestimated. It will be spoken about for decades, and the successful bidder will share a special bond with the lead protagonists of this undisputed heavyweight story through the collective ownership of these unique and elegant timepieces.
“We are also pleased to be able to donate all auction proceeds to Make-A-Wish International, so they can help fulfil the wishes of even more children around the world.”
Jacob & Co’s most expensive watch is the £16MILLION Billionaire Timeless Treasure Yellow Diamond watch.
