      But ahead of the showdown, he posted on Instagram the following message: “Some amazing news coming out of Saudi Arabia . thank you @oudaysingh and my dad @gypsyjohnfury. Stay tuned 🚨”
      And some fans think that it will be an announcement to confirm a FOURTH fight between Fury and Deontay Wilder.
      The pair are long-term rivals having fought three times in the ring in a trilogy of fights between 2018 and 2021, with the Brit winning the last two following a draw in their first meeting.
      They came face to face earlier for the first time since their third fight with Tyson shouting “bomb squad” before shaking hands with the American.

      It is believed Wilder is in Saudi Arabia for talks about his next fight with both boxers said to be open to a fourth bout – but fans do not seem as keen.
      One replied to his post: “Better not be fury vs wilder 4.”
      Another commented: “No-one wants to see Fury vs Wilder again.”
      Wilder was asked about it himself, and he told BT Sport: “I can confirm that whatever is going on, it’s excitement that people have been waiting to see for a very long time.

      “A fourth Tyson Fury fight? There’s always a possibility of that…”
      However, Fury and Oleksandr Usyk’s undisputed title fight is close to being confirmed for April 29 at Wembley.
      Fury’s promoter Bob Arum had confirmed Saudi Arabia is OUT of the equation to host the first ever four-belt heavyweight unification.
      But with Fury in attendance alongside the Saudi bigwigs, some feel that the Middle East nation could be back in the running.
      And one other theory is that Fury could be set for a WWE match against Logan Paul – Jake’s older brother.
      Both men have competed inside the squared-circle previously, and with WWE producing several shows a year in Saudi, it would not be completely out of the question to see them collide in the ring.

      Former Disney star Paul is willing to dance with Froch after his Saudi showdown with Tommy Fury, provided the Brit beats UFC legend Anderson Silva.
      And The Cobra is willing to come out of retirement to teach The Problem Child a lesson.
      He said: “If he ends up getting a massive ego and starts to believe his own hype, if he does the job against Tommy Fury tonight, which he’s still got to do, then we’ll look at it.
      “If he’s serious about it, get the contract sent over to me [and] we’ll have a serious look at it and we’ll take it from there.

      “But he’s got a job to do tonight, first, with Tommy Fury.”

      The 45-year-old added: “For him to put parameters and that I’ve got to fight Anderson Silva tells me he’s already putting a hurdle in front of it.
      “Jake Paul, it kills him, because I never give him any credit. Maybe I’ll start to give him credit if he does the job against Tommy Fury this evening.

      He said: “When there’s so much money at stake, we don’t like fights are fixed or what’s going off in the background, but there’s always stuff circulating to say, listen, this is a gravy train that needs to keep going.
      “And he’s making a lot of money, Jake Paul, because he knows what he’s doing.
