Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk: Weigh-in results
As expected, WBC champ Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) came in much lighter than he did for his previous outing. The British star’s weight of 262 pounds is 15 pounds lower than it was for a listless points win over former UFC champ Francis Ngannou in October.
The 35-year-old switch hitter looks to be in excellent fighting shape and has put in the work for this one. Motivated by the chance to emulate countryman Lennox Lewis, who reigned as undisputed champ in 1999, Fury had his passionate fans in a frenzy when he hit the scales.
“I’m ready to rock and roll! Fireworks tomorrow night.” bellowed “The Gypsy King”, who was considerably more animated than he was at Thursday’s press conference. “I’m gonna knock this little f__ker spark out. I’m coming for his heart, that’s what I’m coming for.
“F__k his belts! F__k him. F__k all his team, too. F__k the lot of them.”
Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) came in at 233.5 pounds, which is 12 pounds heavier than the 221 he’s weighed for his previous three contests at heavyweight against Anthony Joshua (twice) and Daniel Dubois. He will be defending his IBF, WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine titles in this fight.
Despite being almost 30 pounds lighter and six inches shorter, the Ukrainian technician appeared far from intimidated. The 37-year-old lefty is accustomed to using his foot speed and punching accuracy to bedevil bigger opponents, so this assignment is nothing new.
“Don’t be afraid, I will not leave you alone tomorrow,” said Usyk in the direction of his opponent. “My plan [is to stay calm]. If I am nervous, I cannot win. My fans, I love you. See you tomorrow.”
