Fury and Bamba came face-to-face in Dubai, ahead of their showdown on Sunday. The youngest member of the Fury clan made it a point to remind Bamba that he has come for ‘domination’. Bamba, on the other hand, placed his hand on Fury’s face despite the verbal provocation.

This act, however, did not sit well with Fury.
