Fury took some time off from his training to travel to Liverpool and watch Nick Ball stop Ronny Rios in round 10 of their WBA featherweight fight.
Fury, 36, was brought to the TNT Sports panel to cover the headline fight and talk about his upcoming fight against Usyk.
Asked by Woods how he felt about fighting now that he’s older and wiser, Fury said: “I’ve always been a bad guy my whole life.
“And I’m still almost 40 today. A few years away from 40, but still, I like to say, it feels older.
“However, I’m going in there with demolition mode.
“Last time I went to box him and I was cautious. I was boxing Right off the bat, let’s talk facts.

At this point Woods was forced to intervene live on air.
The TNT presenter said: “It may have crossed the watershed, but if you’re offended by it then maybe I have to apologize for some people watching.
“It’s Tyson Fury though, so you might as well get a little bit of it anyway.”
Fury then intervened: “I will apologize for my behaviour. If you don’t like it, change the channel!”
Woods added: “I thought there was going to be someone else then!”
Usyk defeated Fury on split decision in May to add the WBC title to his collection in the first undisputed fight in 25 years.
Fury was also in Liverpool to watch his cousin Walter take his professional career to 2–0 by defeating Dale Arrowsmith in an undercard bout.
Earlier in the interview, Fury had insisted he would be in much better shape for the second fight with Usyk.
He cited the fact that he would be free to prepare without having to defend the cut that had caused his first bout to be postponed.

The Gypsy King insisted: “I’m ready to roll. I can come into the ring at 30 stone and go 15 laps. I’m a natural at it.
“I just need five or six weeks of sparring – good sparring this time where I haven’t got any cuts that are going to open up.”
