Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk could decide replacement judge with COIN TOSS with camps split on who should be ringside

New Judge Decision

A new judge for Tyson Fury's rematch against Oleksandr Usyk could be decided with a COIN TOSS. The rival camps are locked in a dispute over a replacement official as two potential judges have been drafted in to replace Fernando Barbosa.

Frank Warren's Solution

Frank Warren was the one who purposed with the solution. Fury, 36, and Usyk, 37, will square off for a second time on Saturday night. Barbosa had been due to be one of the three judges on fight night but he was unable to travel to Riyadh due to illness.

Coin Toss Suggestion

Frank Warren suggested a coin toss should settle the issue. He stated, "We want one of them and the other camp wants the other, so I've suggested we spin a coin."

Late Drama Before Fight

There has been late drama just under 36 hours before the fight is due to get underway. The other key points of contention at Friday's rules meeting were the length of Fury's beard, the position of the shorts, and kissing a cross in the corner.

Rule Changes

Fury now sports a great big bushy beard, with Fury admitting he has not groomed anywhere from the eyeballs down. But the board in charge of the rules for the rematch state fighters must have their jawline visible for safety reasons.

Foreign Object Concerns

Usyk famously kissed a cross in his corner during the first fight, but Fury's team don't want a "foreign object" in any corner to eliminate any potential doubt and reduce online speculation.

Warren emphasized, "If there's anything that is used other than water that goes to the fighter's lips, then the inspector will take it away and hold it and if anything is seen to be not correct then they'll deal with it, test it, whatever that may be."
