Tyson Fury flew to Iceland to provoke Hafthor Bjornsson in the hope he would confront him face-to-face. Accompanied by his father John, they took to the streets of the Nordic nation hoping to find the actor and strongman. However, their efforts were in vain as they discovered the 33-year-old is in Rome filming a movie. This morning, the WBC heavyweight champion posted a clip to social media in which he announced his arrival in Bjornsson’s home country. Fury began by posting a clip at the airport on his Instagram story: “Do you know where we are guys? Iceland. And you know what we’re doing here? We’re looking for Thor. Come out and fight like a man.” Not long later, he posted a clip from outside Thor’s gym after finding out he is currently abroad and invited him to come and find him in the UK.

A featherweight fighter, the 28-year-old is set to sit in Fury's corner when he returns to the ring. However, Lowe has lost his last two bouts - including his last performance on Fury's undercard when he took on Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April this year. Lowe was battered by rising star Nick Ball in the sixth round when the towel was thrown in.

World heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is eyeing future bouts against Tyson Fury and Canelo Alvarez if he defeats Anthony Joshua in their rematch in Saudi Arabia later this month. Back in September, Joshua was comfortably outclassed as the Ukrainian took his WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF world titles in front of 65,000 fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Usyk stunned Joshua on a number of occasions and was simply too fast for the Brit, landing a number of impressive hits to win unanimously on points.

The 35-year-old has become one of the biggest names in boxing over the last few years, and has won world titles in two divisions.
