LAURA WOODS’ replacement Becky Ives stunned on the TNT Sports screens after her late call-up for boxing duty tonight.
The world is watching as Tyson Fury gets set to fight Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight crown in Saudi Arabia.
A host of stars will be ringside for the bout, with Cristiano Ronaldo set to be seated alongside Anthony Joshua on the front row.
Millions of fans across the globe will also be watching from their front rooms.
However, those that have purchased the fight on TNT Sports will have noticed that Laura Woods is not on hosting duties.
The fan favourite host has dropped out after suffering a freak accident.
Woods posted a heartfelt note on Friday evening revealing she is unable to attend the clash after a horror injury while on holiday with boyfriend Adam Collard.
The fan favourite revealed she had accidentally smashed a glass lampshade above her head, causing it to shatter and cut her face and arm.
It was soon announced that Becky would be stepping into the shoes of Woods on fight night.
And she was certainly ready to rumble in a bold green dress in Riyadh as she got to work alongside Carl Frampton, David Haye and Steve Bunce to analyse the action.

TYSON FURY VS OLEKSANDR USYK LIVE: ALL THE LATEST FROM HUGE UNDISPUTED WORLD TITLE FIGHT
Fury REFUSED to even look at rival Usyk in the pre-fight press conference.
Usyk‘s team continued the eventful build-up by filing a complaint that parts of the Riyadh ring canvas could be a trip hazard.
However, it was the WBC champion’s father John Fury who had stolen the headlines after he shockingly HEADBUTTED Stanislav Stepchuk – a member of the Usyk team – on Monday.
The 59-year-old John, who was left with a bloodied forehead, then threatened to headbutt Tony Bellew after he predicted a Usyk win.
John then launched a bitter attack on “traitor” British fans who believe that his undefeated 6ft 9in boy will be beaten this weekend.
Tonight’s fight will see one man crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world for the first time since Lennox Lewis held the mantle in 1999.
Usyk holds the WBA, WBO and IBF belts, while Fury is the WBC and lineal heavyweight champion.
Both men also have unbeaten records.
