Tyson Fury weighed in at 262 lbs while joint heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk weighed in at 233 1/2 lbs on Friday night's uncontested heavyweight bout at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Arabia. .
During the match, Fury rushed up to Usyk and put his head on his, then gave him a hard blow, which led to the team separating the two to prevent any altercations.
Fury looked like he had a chip on his shoulder after being dumped yesterday for his shy behavior at the last press conference, where he avoided looking at Usyk when they faced each other.
IBF/WBA/WBO champion Usyk is 12.6 kilos heavier than his last fight in August, and looks more muscular than he used to.
WBC heavyweight Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) came in 25.7 lbs lighter than his previous fight last October, and looks like a completely different fighter.
