TYSON FURY has received a good luck message from Zlatan Ibrahimovic ahead of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

The former Manchester United star is a big fan of the Gypsy King and he urged him to "make history" in Saudi Arabia.

Fury can become undisputed heavyweight champion by beating Usyk on Saturday, with both fighters undefeated going into the clash.

Ibrahimovic told Fury to enjoy himself in the ring but made sure to remind the Brit that he needs to win.

He said in a video message to the boxer: "Tyson Fury what's up. Hope you had a good pre-camp preparation. You look good you look sharp.

"Enjoy the fight. I'm pretty sure you know what you have to do. And I'm pretty sure you will do what you have been doing always, making history.

"Be yourself. Go in there and dance and make us enjoy. But the most important thing, do what you're able to do and that's winning.

"Go out there and have fun and make sure you win, like always. Make history and we will be watching."

Fury, 35, has teased a shock change of tactics for the biggest fight of his career, hitting the pads with trainer SugarHill Steward in a southpaw position this week.

The Gypsy King may believe the stance is the best way to counter Usyk's own southpaw style, which got the better of Anthony Joshua twice.

However Usyk has also played mind games by adopting an orthodox stance during a public workout.

He later stared down his opponent when it was Fury's turn to show off his skills.
