Tyson Fury has landed in Saudi Arabia ahead of this month's undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

The two heavyweights will fight in Riyadh on Saturday May 18 for the chance to win the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF titles. The fight was originally scheduled for February but was forced to be rearranged after Fury sustained a cut above his eye during a sparring session.

Fury comes into the fight on the back of an unconvincing win over former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. The Manchester-born fighter will look to return to his best later this month.

Fury and Usyk will both attempt to etch their names in boxing history as the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999. The winner has also been heavily tipped to face Anthony Joshua after he returned to his best by defeating Ngannou.

On Saturday, Fury and his family arrived in Saudi Arabia. After being greeted with flowers, he posed for pictures alongside his entourage.

Posting a series of the images on Instagram, the 35-year-old wrote: "Touchdown Riyadh #UNDISPUTED." He added: "All roads lead to the #RINGOFFIRE. T E A M . F U R Y."

Fury's father, John, joined him in Saudi Arabia alongside manager Spencer Brown and trainer SugarHill Steward. However, there was no sign of Tommy Fury, who is often a regular part of Fury's entourage when he fights.
