TYSON FURY launched a terrifying rant at Oleksandr Usyk by vowing to put him “in the hurt locker.”
Fury rematches Usyk in Saudi Arabia on Saturday – just seven months after losing his WBC belt and unbeaten record via split-decision.
The Gypsy King put too much showboating down as a reason for coming out second best in the 12-round thriller.
But Fury, 36, insisted there will be no more Mr Nice guy, laughing or joking as he issued a brutal warning to Usyk days out from the bout.
He said: “I’m going to dish out a whole lot of pain. I’m going to put this f***er in the hurt locker, for sure.
“I’ve got nothing to say other than there’s going to be a whole load of hurt and pain in this fight, you watch. That’s all I’ve got to say.

“The talking’s been done. The first fight I talked, I joked, all my career. This fight I’m serious. I’m going to do some f***ing damage.”
The two then went face-to-face for a stare down which threatened to NEVER end.
Efforts were made to try and separate the pair including holding up media accreditation and pieces of paper.
Tempers then flared as the two camps tried to intervene with the heavyweight superstars then trading words with each other.
