TYSON FURY was spotted leaving media day on crutches ahead of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
The Gypsy King walked with a slight limp as he left the building days before their heavyweight showdown in Saudi Arabia this weekend.
However, all is not as it seems with Fury’s crutch part of an elaborate act.
The WBC world heavyweight champion had taken the crutch from someone else during the media day.
He has previously pulled similar stunts ahead of bouts earlier in his career.
Fury was seen limping around before fighting Deontay Wilder during their trilogy.

It later turned out to all be pretend, though, with Fury making it into the ring on fight night without issue.
His latest stunt came just moments before his dad John Fury confronted members of Usyk’s team.
Members of both groups were heard chanting the names of each fighter as they came face-to-face.
The cornerman was also left bleeding after clashing with the Ukrainian’s entourage on Monday.

TYSON FURY is one of the biggest characters in sport.
Fury Sr. headbutted a member of Usyk’s team before later apologising for his antics.
His son was also left shocked by the incident, having missed the headbutt only to walk in and spot his dad’s bloodied forehead.
Fury and Usyk will meet in the ring at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on Saturday night for the undisputed heavyweight crown.
It will be the first time since Lennox Lewis in 2000 that the division has had an undisputed world champion and the first time in the four-belt era.
Usyk will defend his IBF, IBO, WBA (Super) and WBO belts, with Fury’s WBC title also on the line.
Both fighters go into the bout unbeaten from a combined 56 professional bouts.
