TYSON FURY BEATS TOM SCHWARZ BY KNOCKOUT

Fury dropped the German after a string of strong punches, while slipping and ducking out of the way of any replies.

Fury landed with a right hand on the chin of Schwarz, forcing him to take a knee.

From there, he swarmed the challenger and overwhelmed him with flurries.

ROUND ONE: Fury used his jab well from the opening bell, using his long left to keep Schwarz at distance. 

Schwarz had little success throughout, other than one left hand which connected on Fury’s chin.

Fury more than happy to tie up Schwarz when the fighting gets too close. 

A comfortable round for Fury.

04:55am: Tyson Fury and Tom Schwarz are in the ring and are ready to get going.

Fury walked to the ring donned in the Apollo Creed outfit from Rocky, while Schwarz favoured a simple rock song. 

04:40am: Fury has described himself as a fighter who “can’t be out-boxed”, while Schwarz has claimed he “can’t be knocked out”.

Is this going to be a one-way fight? The bookies don’t think so.

Having opened at 1/30 to win, Fury has dropped to 1/12.

The main event is next.

04:25am: Jesse Hart has beaten Sullivan Barrera in the co-main event.

That result means we’re all set for the main event of the evening.

We’re just minutes away from Fury taking to the ring.

04:00am: Fury appears to be copying Apollo Creed from Rocky 2 with his ring attire.

In a clip posted by BT Sport, the boxer could be seen wearing shorts reminiscent of Carl Weathers’ character in the 1979 film.

Fury has been tight-lipped about his ring-walk, with some even suggesting that Robbie Williams was set to sing him into the ring.

But now, fans have been given their first glimpse of the megastar’s shorts.

03:50am: Robbie Williams has given his prediction for the fight, and is backing the Brit to get the job done.

Speaking to talkSPORT, he joked that he thinks Fury is going to stop the German.

“I think it’s going to be Tyson in the seventh.

“What have other people been saying? [similar], okay, seventh. Seventh.”

03:40am: Tyson Fury has sent a final message to fans ahead of his fight. 

I’m fighting for people who are suffering, to be a shining light in the darkness,” he told Top Rank.

“I’ve come back from such a dark, dark place and I want to be the shining light out there, to give people hope.

“If I can do it, then you can do it, I do it for you.

“For all the depressed and pressed people out there, this is for you.”

03:30am: Fury is clearly not concerned about the ‘Drake Curse’, as he sang along to the Toronto rapper in his dressing room.

With just one fight left before he takes to the ring, Fury is in a relaxed mood and has posed with a few famous faces.

Gordon Ramsey and Robbie Williams have both dropped by to wish the ‘Gypsy King’ luck.

03:15am: Mikaela Mayer has defeated Lizbeth Crespo on points.

The American girl put in a solid performance, outworking and outboxing her Argentine opponent.

Mayer is keen to move up a weight to take on undisputed world champion Katie Taylor.

We’ve got one fight remaining – Sullivan Berrera vs Jesse Hart – before the big one.

02:45am: Fury has been practicing throwing a knee to the body on his trainer Ben Davison as he engages in some last-minute fun. 

The star is due in the ring in just over an hour, with two fights left on the undercard, and is in a jovial mood. 

He was filmed by BT Sport Box Office messing about with his trainer before he begins his final preparations.
