The pair took part in a heated face off after weighing in for their Saudi showdown, with Fury sticking his noggin on Ngannou’s forehead.
Fury swiftly conducted an interview with TNT Sports after the final face-off.
And he dropped two swear words during the interview after being asked about fighting Oleksandr Usyk.
He said: “We’re talking about Francis Ngannou tomorrow night And I’mma knock a motherf***er out.
“And then, I’m gonna take a week off boxing, let me have some time with my family and then I’m come and take on a little guy and knock him out.”
TNT Sports presenter Josh Denzel promptly said: “We apologise for the language for those viewers out there.”
It wasn’t long, however, before Fury was at it again.
Yes, I need to apologise,” Fury said.” If there’s anybody out there who don’t like my language – get the f**k out that door.”
Fury’s antics forced another swift apology from Denzel, who said: “I apologise again on behalf of Tyson Fury.
” I think we’re going to let you go, brother.”
The trash talk has been flowing in the months since the shock Saudi showdown was finally.
But the duo needed to clear one final hurdle to finalise their dust-up – making weight.
MMA man mountain Ngannou – who left the UFC in January – took to the Saudi scales first.
And the Cameroonian clubber came in at a whopping 272lbs – which is equal to 19 stone six, pounds.
Brit behemoth Fury – who cut a jovial and happy figure all week – soon followed.
And the less-than-aesthetic WBC heavyweight champion tipped the scales at 277.7lbs.
The face-off was a tasty one as Fury tried to push his head into Ngannou’s.
He then proceeded to push him with his belly.
Ngannou wasn’t having any of it, buffeting him back with his chiselled frame.
