Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk both weighed in at drastically different weights for their upcoming undisputed clash.
Ahead of tomorrow night, Usyk tipped the scales at a career-heaviest weight while Fury was his lightest since 2018 when he weighed in at 18st 3lbs (255lbs) for his first fight with Deontay Wilder that ended in a draw.
Fury stepped on the scales at a trim 18st 7lbs (262lbs) after weighing in at at a career-heaviest 19st 8lbs (277.7lbs) last time out against Francis Ngannou.
In stark contrast, Usyk was the 16st 6lbs (233.5lbs), up 11.5lbs from his stoppage win over Daniel Dubois in his last outing in August and showed off a noticeably bulkier physique.
At the open workout, Fury didn’t look at Usyk but at the weigh-ins, he was locked in and fired up as he pushed the Ukrainian when they came face to face.
Speaking to DAZN in the immediate aftermath, the Brit said: “We’re ready to rock and roll, I’m going to knock this f***er spark out.

“I’m coming for his heart, f*** his belts. I’m coming for his f***ing heart.
“F*** his team as well they can all get it.”
Usyk then took to the mic to fire a message back to Fury: “Don’t be afraid I will not leave you alone tomorrow.”

The heavyweight titans square off on Saturday (May 18) at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in what will be the first undisputed clash of the four-belt era.
Lennox Lewis was the last man to hold the undisputed title in boxing’s marquee weight class.
He defeated Evander Holyfield for the distinction back in 1999.
However, Lewis did so when there were only three world titles as the WBO was not a recognised major sanctioning body at the time.
