Fury vs Usyk 2: Fully clothed Fury four stone heavier than Usyk


A fully clothed Tyson Fury weighed in at a career-heavy 20st 1lb for Saturday’s heavyweight world title fight against champion Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.

Ukraine’s Usyk will defend his WBA (Super), WBC and WBO titles against two-time champion Fury at Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena.

Dressed in a leather jacket, white trousers and a baseball cap – which he kept on when he stepped on the scales – Fury weighed in four stone heavier than his opponent.

He cut a more relaxed figure than he has throughout the week, even shaking hands with Usyk’s team.

But the 36-year-old Briton seemed eager to get Friday’s weigh-in over and looked away after just seven seconds during their final face-off. They had shared an 11-minute face-off a day earlier.

The Morecambe fighter walked off without giving an on-camera interview.

Usyk, asked how he was feeling, simply replied: “Nothing.”

The 37-year-old edged a split decision win for the undisputed title in May, inflicting a first career loss on Fury.

He too was fully dressed in a tracksuit as he tipped the scales, making it difficult to determine the boxers’ conditioning and shape, as he weighed in at 16st 1lb, five pounds lighter than for the first fight.

“You can analyse it anyway you like but tomorrow night you’re going to find out who is the best,” Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, said.

“You know both of them will come to fight. We are going to see something extra, extra special.”
