Fury, 35, cut a cool, calm and collected figure as he sat in the dressing room after being given a POLICE ESCORT to the venue.

And his confidence levels were so through the roof that he decided to take a nap in his dressing room – despite the slew of people floating around.

Footage of the WBC heavyweight champion’s brief nap quickly went viral on social media, with several fans flocking to X to give their takes on it.

One wrote: “Not surprised with the amount of time in between these fights.”

Another said: “Can’t take him anywhere.”

Fury enters his lucrative Saudi showdown with former UFC heavyweight champ Ngannou with a historic undisputed bout with Oleksandr Usyk – which is in the pipeline for December 23 – already signed, sealed and delivered.

And the WBC heavyweight champion plans to have a short night at the office.

He said: “I have been working with SugarHill to knock him out cold on Saturday night.
