Paris Fury will be her husband Tyson's biggest cheerleader when he returns to the ring on Saturday night (May 18) to finally face Oleksandr Usyk. The boxers are fighting for the crown of undisputed world heavyweight champion when they clash in Riyadh at a sold-out Kingdom Arena.
The weigh-in took place on Friday night (May 17) with some of the biggest names in heavyweight history present to watch, including Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Larry Holmes and Wladimir Klitschko.
