We go to brighton and last game important for the ranking so we needed three points and that is the only way how and we dont have in our hands, but we have to do ourjob to win the game there. Frustrating for us, i think. You know, away from home this year, our record has not been good enough and a familiar scene for us really.

Ade adedoyin is there for us. Well, one of the Talking Points in the lead up to this fight is whether tyson fury will come in lighter than his previous bout. Posted a lot of messages on social media to suggest he might. We got to see him up front at todays public workout. Alongside me is the tokyo bronze medallist frazer clark, now professional who hopes to challenge for the world title one day. You watched him up close, what did you make of tyson fury . He looked light, but then again ijust think hes carrying it different. I dont think hes much more ligher, probably got a lot more muscle on. Obviously had a better cut than last time, but he looked loose and thats something if youre a trainer or youre in the team you like to see your fighter looking loose. He looked like he was enjoying it. At this stage of fight week youre doing a lot of stuff repetitive, speaking to a lot of media, Everyone Wants a piece of you. That was one of the rare tysons, he probably enjoyed himself, just him, the trainer and the boxing ring, thats like home for fighter in fight week. I think he looked good. What was interesting is i saw you talking to olexander usyk, he was laughing and joking, seemed quite relaxed, but he stayed to watch tyson fury to go through his workout. Did that surprise you . What would he take from that . I didnt think he would have took much from it. I dont think tyson, if he does see olexander� s workout, he wouldnt get much from that. There was a shift in focus, i cant lie. He was laughing and joking and then all of a sudden boom, it was focused on tyson for a good five, six minutes, no blinking just looked at him. I even asked him when does it become exciting this week . I know i have been there a lot of times. A lot of stress, a lot of commitments. When is it exciting . He said it becomes exciting when it becomes real. That is from the second he gets in the ring, he said the blinkers come on, and just tyson fury and the referee. So from that moment there, it becomes exciting because he loves what he does. It is getting very real. Frazer clarke there, bronze medallist from the tokyo games, now professional. The two men will come face to face at the final head to head press conference. Tyson fury is a master of the mind games. You wonder if hell do anything to unsettle alexander usyk. I has been billed as the biggest bout in 25 years of boxing.

You can get more on the bbc sport app, orfrom our website but from me will perry and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. Hello there. Looking at thursdays weather, weve got some, i think wet weather on the way to parts of england and wales with some Thundery Rain At Times. On wednesday, heres the day of sunny spells and passing showers. Some of those showers, mind you, were very heavy, for example, here in hebden bridge. But looking at the satellite picture, you can see a stripe of cloud just here, thats a Weather Front that stretches all the way into europe. Theres our fronts. But bumping into that front, weve got this trough here, this line of very intense showers. You might get the sense that these areas of rain are merging together. Well, i think thats exactly whats going on. And they will tend to run towards england over the coming hours. So weather wise, over the next few hours, not so much of an issue. Well have some low cloud effects, some of our north sea coast, a few mist and fog patches here and occasional spots of rain or drizzle. Drier weather elsewhere with temperatures around ten or 11 degrees quite widely. The problems with the forecast come tomorrow. I think there is a risk of seeing more widespread rain initially across eastern areas of england through thursday morning before moving across the midlands and on its parts of wales and the west country as we head into the afternoon. So the details are going to be quite difficult to come by but expect the chance of seeing some heavy Thundery Rain At Times across parts of england and wales. Further northwards for Northern Ireland sunshine through the morning and a dry morning. The afternoon, yeah, you could see a storm or two breaking out. Most of scotland, in contrast to all of that will be dry, although there will be some mist and low cloud across eastern areas and spots of drizzle through the morning, the afternoon, the best of the sunshine into the northwest and thats where well see temperatures at their highest, probably reaching around 23 degrees or so. Heading into friday the Weather Pattern is still rather unsettled, but hopefully a bit more straightforward. It should be a day of sunshine and showers through the afternoon for england and wales. Some of those turning heavy and thundery. The drier weather will be further north again for scotland and for Northern Ireland, where most places will keep spells of sunshine and temperatures well into the low 20s. Thats going to feel pleasant with light winds for the weekend weather picture, were still at low pressure close to the south of the uk, a ridge of High Pressure trying to build in from the north west. And so its again scotland and Northern Ireland that will have the dry ice weather through the weekend. England and wales, meanwhile, will have the chance of seeing a few more showers to come.
