Bulked-up Fury Promises War In Usyk Rematch

Tyson Fury weighed in at the heaviest of his career on Friday as he vowed to go to war with Oleksandr Usyk in their world title rematch.

The Englishman, albeit fully clothed, tipped the scales at 281 pounds 127.4kg 19lb heavier than when he lost to the Ukrainian in their unification bout in May.

Usyk, also dressed against the winter chill at Riyadhs Wonder Garden amusement park, weighed 226lb, 2.5lb heavier than seven months ago.

Furys added weight shows hes out to physically dominate the smaller Usyk on Saturday. He offered only one word war to the interviewer as he left the stage.

When a 20 stone 280lb man hits you on the jaw, compared to a man at 17 stone, its a bit different, Fury told Sky Sports earlier.
