And the biggest names in the sporting world arrived early for the superfight, including Gerrard and British boxing legend Lennox Lewis.

Gerrard, a Champions League winner with Liverpool, is currently in charge of Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq.

He was photographed entering the arena wearing a navy blue polo shirt for an interview with TNT Sports.

Lewis, the last undisputed heavyweight champion in history, was not far behind him.

Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is also expected to take his place, alongside Anthony Joshua.

Ronaldo watched Fury, 35, controversially win a points verdict over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, 37, in October.

And fans reacted hilariously to UFC icon Conor McGregor, 35, giving Fury an earful from ringside.

The former Manchester United striker is sat alongside 34-year-old Joshua, who will be keeping an eye on tonight’s winner.

He said talkSPORT: “Well, look, I fought Oleksandr Usyk, so I can only talk about what I experienced from him.

“Phenomenal fighter, he does everything perfectly and I would say he will do a very good job.

“I’ve never fought Tyson Fury, so I can’t speak to how he’s going to perform or what it’s going to be like to face him, so just speaking about what I know I would have to say, Oleksandr Usyk will be victorious.”
