TYSON FURY received a good luck message from Zlatan Ibrahimovic ahead of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
The former Manchester United star is a huge fan of the Gypsy King and encouraged him to “make history” in Saudi Arabia.
Fury can become undisputed heavyweight champion by defeating Usyk on Saturday, with both fighters unbeaten going into the clash.
Ibrahimovic told Fury to have fun in the ring, but was keen to remind the Briton that he needed to win.
He said in a video message to the boxer: “Tyson Fury, what’s up. I hope you had a good pre-camp preparation.
“Enjoy the fight. I’m sure you know what you have to do. And I’m sure you’ll do what you’ve always done, making history.
“Be yourself. Get in there and dance and make us enjoy it. But most importantly, do what you’re capable of and that’s win.
“Go out there and have fun and make sure you win, as always. Make history and we’ll be watching.”
Fury, 35, sparked a shock change of tactics for the biggest fight of his career, hitting the pads with trainer SugarHill Steward in the southpaw position this week.
The Gypsy King may believe that stance is the best way to counter the southpaw style of Usyk, who got the better of Anthony Joshua twice.

He later faced his opponent when it was Fury’s turn to show off his skills.
