Tyson Fury’s eldest son was seen posing for a picture alongside Oleksandr Usyk just hours before their undisputed heavyweight title fight.
After months of build-up, Fury and Usyk will finally settle their differences in Riyadh on Saturday night to determine the best heavyweight on the planet.
Tensions have been running between the two for months now and during the weigh-ins, Fury had a heated clash with his Ukrainian counter-part.
However, Fury’s son – Prince John James – appears to have a more lenient view on the situation and was seen posing alongside Usyk just a few hours before the fight.
In an Instagram post, Prince posed with his fist in the air while the heavyweight star stood with his hands in either pocket.

While Usyk appeared amicable towards Fury’s son, the same can not be said for his attitude towards the Gypsy King which was exemplified at the weigh-ins.
Tempers flared after both fighters had stepped off the scales before the heavyweights squared off and butted heads on stage.
A fracas subsequently broke out with Fury appearing to push Usyk away from him, before the pair were pulled away by their respective teams.
Fury then unleashed a furious tirade to a DAZN reporter, shouting: ‘I’m coming for his heart. F*** his belts, I’m coming for his f***ing heart.
‘I’m going to knock him spark out. F*** all his team, f*** the lot of them! They can all get it if they want to. S***houses!’
The Gypsy King was also asked how he was feeling after the face-off, to which he replied: ‘I’m ready to rock and roll tonight, I’m going to knock this little f***er spark out.’
The winner of the Saudi showdown will become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999, so it proves to be a huge bout for both men.

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will compete for the undisputed heavyweight title on Saturday
Fury and Usyk sat down at a press conference on Thursday in Saudi Arabia, with Fury refusing to face-off against Usyk, folding his arms and staring out towards the audience inside the arena as the Ukrainian stared him down.
When asked why he didn’t face off against Usyk, Fury had told Sky Sports, ‘He’s a scary-looking dude.’
He added: ‘I’m just here to relax now and wait until I get into the ring on Saturday night. All the talking is done, all the interviewing is done. I’m really relaxed and focused.’
Usyk said: ‘Let’s make history. Enough.’
