FANS have been left angry and confused amid conflicting reports over when the ring for Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk will begin.
Fury fights Usyk tonight in Saudi Arabia as both men look to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the 21st century.
Initially it looked like the ring walks would be postponed, leaving the Brits facing an early night if they wanted to watch the blockbuster clash.
Reports suggested the circular walks would begin at 11:45pm UK time.
This sparked anger among UK fans, with many expecting it to start at 11pm.
One fan wrote: “Midnight? I thought they were supposed to leave around 11.”
Another said: “Hell is already breaking out in the ciders even though the main event was at 10am.”
A third said: “I said 10 at the start of the week.”
While a fourth said: “Absolutely disgraceful.”

While a fifth wrote: “I’ll have to hold off drinking otherwise I’ll peak too early! ”
But TalkSPORT Boxing reporter Michael Benson has now taken to X to post that the ring walks will take place at 10.30pm UK time.
Fans remain skeptical about whether this will become reality, with one saying on X: “No chance of it being at 10:30pm, it will be at 12:30pm.”
Much of the uncertainty and skepticism about the true ring walk time stems from the last major fight held in Saudi Arabia.
Anthony Joshua fought Francis Ngannou in the Middle East, but the fight didn’t start until after midnight – much later than expected.
This ruined the plans of many boxing fans who watched AJ win.
SunSport expect the ring walk to be close to midnight, but this will depend on events in the tie.
Tonight’s fight will see one man crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world for the first time since Lennox Lewis held the mantle in 1999.
Usyk holds the WBA, WBO and IBF belts, while Fury is the WBC and lineal heavyweight champion.
Both men also have unbeaten records.
