TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk had to be separated by security as they refused to lose the mental fight.
The pair rematch in Saudi Arabia on Saturday – just seven months after Usyk won their initial classic by split-decision.
They came face-to-face for the standard post-press conference stare down – but this one proved to be anything but.
Fury, 37, and Usyk, 36, looked into each others eyes without saying a single word until things got too tense to for comfort.
Efforts were made by members of their teams and even WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman to try and break up the duo.
A media accreditation and even a napkin were dangled in front of them in an attempt to defuse the situation.
Neither worked.
Instead, the stare down went on for over ten minutes as words were exchanged between the heavyweight superstars.
At last, they were finally broken up and both went their separate ways.
Usyk became the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed champion following his points win in May.

But he was forced to vacate the IBF belt to proceed with the rematch as Daniel Dubois, 27, inherited the strap.
Fury put too much showboating down as a reason for coming out second best in the 12-round thriller.
But he insisted there will be no more Mr Nice guy, laughing or joking as he issued a brutal warning to Usyk days out from the bout.
Fury said: “I’m going to dish out a whole lot of pain. I’m going to put this f***er in the hurt locker, for sure.
“I’ve got nothing to say other than there’s going to be a whole load of hurt and pain in this fight, you watch. That’s all I’ve got to say.
“The talking’s been done. The first fight I talked, I joked, all my career. This fight I’m serious. I’m going to do some f***ing damage.”
RYAN Clark and Aaron Rodgers appear to be feuding through ESPN.
Clark initially spoke out against Aaron Rodgers on First Take who then fired back on The Pat McAfee Show.
Clark asked McAfee for time to speak about the beef on his show through X.
“Think @PatMcAfeeShow is still on YT,” he wrote.
“Texted and FaceTimed the number I have. Would love to clear up this whole ‘jealous’ thing!
“I’m in South Bend this week though. I’ll walk out if we can’t connect. Quick convo sets it straight.
“Got no issue with dude unless he has 1 with me.”
The beef originated from Rodgers taking exception with a First Take segment Clark did about him.
“I know I gotta say this multiple times for people because they don’t listen,” he said.
“Say whatever the f*** you want about me, I don’t care. But before you do it, whether you state your name, your accolades, your pronouns, whatever it is, just state your vax status so anything you say after get puts in the right light.
“Then when you say things about me, people can at least be like ‘Oh you are captured by the multibillion-dollar propaganda psyop.
“Just put that in so everybody knows where you’re coming from.”
Clark quickly responded to that with a four and a half minute video on X, calling Rodgers out as a “hypocrite.”
“Wanted to make sure all your people knew it was me. Here is why I called Aaron Rodgers… a hypocrite,” he said.
“Because you’re actually on ESPN talking about my fellow colleagues and the people I work with saying that now, because they are former players and weren’t as great of players as you were, they feel like they’re the stars.
“And that’s not it. TV has changed. It’s more about opinion and the informed opinion of people who have played the game.
“What’s hypocritical about what you said is you said it while on TV with Pat McAfee, who has done an amazing job with this platform. And even though he was an all-pro punter, he’s now extremely famous and more well known for what he does in his post [playing] career.
“Even more hypocritical of you is that you’re sitting across from three people who have never played the game, and they are also entitled to talk about football in a very informed way, because if we’ve learned anything from Mina Kimes, you don’t actually have to step on the field to be excellent at the job of analyzing football.
“And I spoke to that hypocrisy because you were getting paid to do that, which Pat said you deserve to. And that is why you received the money that you did, at least initially, because of what you brought to his platform.
“Now, let me be clear because I know you want us to list these things. My name is Ryan Clark. Played 13 years in the NFL, been to two Super Bowls. I have as many rings as you do. I was the captain of two separate football teams.
“I’m also an Emmy winner. I’m also the co-host, owner, and partner of an Emmy-nominated podcast called The Pivot.”
Netflix will be the global home of the NFL on Christmas Day this year.
The streaming service will show two special holiday games live around the world.
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs kick off the double header against the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 pm ET.
And they’ll be followed by the Baltimore Ravens at the Houston Texans from 4.30 pm ET.
That game will also feature a halftime show from Beyonce in her home town of Houston, Texas.
Netflix also confirmed their broadcast team for the day, led by Fox NFL commentator Greg Olsen and former Good Morning Football host Kay Adams.
Clark also sounded off about his vaccination status, something that Rodgers was critical about on live TV during The Pat McAfee Show.
He made sure to bring up the fact that Rodgers and the Packers were fined over $300,000 after he misdirected the media by saying he was “immunized,” even though he never received the Covid vaccine.
“As far as your vaccination status, so you can stop trying to trick people into thinking that we want to talk about that [issue] above the stink of your film, I’ve never heard it one more time after your incident,” Clark said.
“People didn’t care that you weren’t vaccinated, they cared that you were slimy about it. They cared that you were deceitful about it.
“And they cared that you had this air of arrogance when answering the questions about it. And you’ve been the only person that’s talked about it since.”
Clark finished his rant by roasting Rodgers about the New York Jets’ awful season.
“But let me be very, very clear. My job is to analyze you… And in analyzing you, what I know is your QBR is 21st,” he said.
“Also know that you’re the quarterback of a 4-10 team who has to win the last three games of the season to even be equal to what last year’s team was without you.”
Rodgers won’t make another appearance on The Pat McAfee Show until next week, but he will likely fire back another response to Clark on ESPN.
A DRIVER who decorated his car to celebrate Christmas cheer is kicking himself after witnessing the horrific aftermath.
The Tesla owner said he may be out $100,000 after his holiday spirit took a shocking turn.
The Tiktoker (@platinumxcenter) showed off the disaster in a video that went viral as horrified viewers searched for solutions.
In the clip, the driver showed the devastating effects of taping Christmas lights to the side of a car.
Rows of lights were stuck to the Tesla Model X with dozens of pieces of masking tape, which left a huge mess when removed.
The driver recorded himself peeling one piece off and revealed the jaw-dropping amount of residue left to clean up.
“I’m going to have fun taking these off for sure,” the driver joked while recording the sheer amount of lights and tape on the car.
In the caption, the horrified driver said he might even need a new car and said “rest in peace” to $100,000.
“Who let me do this, and why did no one tell me this was going to happen?” he wrote in the on-screen text.
In the comments, viewers cringed at the terrible decision but questioned whether the TikToker was really out six figures.
Several users advised him to buy Goo Gone and gently wipe off the sticky adhesive.
One viewer said the paint would come off but added that the driver could be looking at an even worse issue.
“The scratches from the lights banging off the paint at speed will need to be buffed out,” he said.
He estimated that the festive driver would need to pay $500 to $1,000 for a buffing and touch-up service.
Most of the comments were questions over the actual value of his car.
A brand new 2025 Tesla Model X starts at around $80,000, but with added specs, it could be upwards of $100,000.
Professionals recommend an interval that may be surprising when cleaning your car.
Depending on where you live and what your typical day looks like, the suggested interval for cleaning a vehicle is every two weeks.
“Regularly washing your car removes everyday contaminants like tar, road debris, and bird droppings that can ruin your car’s paint job over time,” wrote Progressive.
“But there’s no one right answer to this question — it depends on factors like your lifestyle, the climate where you live, and how you store your vehicle when you’re not driving it.”
However, if applying a fresh coat of wax after every cleaning session or if the vehicle is parked in a garage, cleaning may not have to be done as regularly.
“Waxing your car creates a barrier between your clear coat – the layer on top of the paint – and outside elements, so it won’t be able to absorb and affect the exterior of your car,” the site continued.

However, many critics didn’t believe he sank such a shocking sum into the car and asked for proof of the payment.
“Is there $70,000 in the trunk?” one user joked.
Another person teased, “Thank God I didn’t do this to my $350,000 2016 Toyota Camry.”
But the TikToker stuck to his guns and said he was indeed paying the bank the massive fee.
As for the value after the embarrassing fail – that’s up for debate.
Drivers should know that driving with Christmas lights is illegal in most US states, and offenders can face fines of up to $1,000.
Before decorating your ride, it’s crucial to research state law.
Another driver in Wyoming was blasted online by cops for decorating their ride.
BIG Lots will close all of its remaining 963 stores only three months after its bankruptcy filing.
The shocking move was announced on Thursday after a deal from a private equity firm failed to go through.
Nexus Capital Management LP was set to offer financial assistance to Big Lots for restructuring.
That deal has failed to go through as of Thursday, per a press release.
As a result, all Big Lots locations have now begun “going out of business sales.”

A DEATH row inmate used his last words to slam authorities for killing him on his birthday two decades after he brutally murdered and fantasized about eating his 10-year-old neighbor.
Kevin Underwood was executed on Thursday morning after sitting on death row for 18 years for torturing and killing Jamie Rose Bolin in 2006.
Before he died by lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, Underwood reportedly apologized to Bolin’s family for his heinous crimes.
He also said it was “needlessly cruel to my family” to execute him on his 45th birthday, six days before Christmas.
Underwood lured Bolin to his apartment before hitting her head with a cutting board and strangling her to death in his bathtub.
He later told cops he murdered his young neighbor as part of his cannibalistic and sexual fantasies and admitted to wanting to eat the girl, even though he didn’t go through with it.
He also said he tried to have sex with Bolin’s corpse, cops said at the time.
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said justice was finally served for Bolin on Thursday.
“Justice for Jamie finally was served this morning with the execution of the depraved murderer who took her away from her family and loved ones,” Drummond said in a statement.
“I pray that Jamie’s family and all who continue to mourn her loss find a sense of peace after today’s action.”
A week before he was executed, Underwood said he regretted the ghastly murder in his final clemency hearing with the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board.
“I recognize that although I do not want to die…I deserve to for what I did,” the killer said over video on Friday, according to the Oklahoman.
“And if my death could…change what I did, I would gladly die.”
Underwood apologized to Bolin’s family and his own family at the hearing.
“I can’t believe I did those things,” he said.
“The person I was in the weeks leading up to that event is not who I am now.”
Mr. Underwood chose Jamie because he thought that she was small and defenseless and easy prey.”
Aspen Layman
Assistant Attorney General Aspen Layman rejected Underwood’s team’s claims that he shouldn’t be sentenced to death due to his mental health problems.
“Mr. Underwood chose Jamie because he thought that she was small and defenseless and easy prey,” Layman said.
“And while we, as an enlightened society, can give grace to those struggling with mental illness, we can still expect them to refrain from planning the murder, rape, torture, and cannibalism of 10-year-old little girls.”
Underwood, a 26-year-old grocery store worker at the time of the crimes, murdered Bolin on April 12, 2006.
The neighbor girl came over to play with Underwood’s pet rat after school before he viciously attacked her while she was watching Spongebob Squarepants, Underwood later told cops.
The FBI found the girl’s body nearly decapitated in a tub in Underwood’s bedroom closet two days later.
After cops saw Bolin’s shirt in the tub, Underwood told them, “Go ahead and arrest me.”
“She’s in there. I hit her and chopped her up,” he said.
“I’m going to burn in hell.”
Underwood was declared dead at 10:14 am local time on Thursday.
His last meal request was chicken-fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, pinto beans, a hot roll, and a cheeseburger and fries with ketchup, according to the Department of Corrections.
