A fully clothed Tyson Fury weighs in four stone heavier than champion Oleksandr Usyk for Saturday's heavyweight world title fight in Saudi Arabia.
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.
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. Fury has grown a bristly beard, which he says provides added strength. Boxing rules usually require facial hair to be of a certain length. Stubble, for example, can further damage a cut.
Friday is not a working day in Saudi and as such the weigh-in – held at a garden-themed theme park - was slightly better attended than other fight week events.
