The weigh-in was one of the highlights ahead of Tyson Fury's (30-0-1, 21 KOs) third fight against Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs). Both boxers recorded record results on the scales, with the Brit almost 126kg ...
The topic was touched upon by "The King of Gypsy", and in his opinion, the kilos don't matter in the ring, and he himself doesn't eat in excess. "Weight, size, anything like that - it doesn't matter if you want to beat somebody," Fury told Sky Sports.
"You can weigh 90 kilos and beat a boxer who weighs 160 kilos. Weight doesn't matter. I'm not trying to reach a certain limit. I eat a lot, train a lot and that's it. Whatever I bring to the ring on Saturday, it will be enough to win", said the WBC champion.
The topic of weight is an integral part of Fury's career. When he had mental problems, which resulted in a three-year break, he was able to put on up to 180 pounds. In their first fight between Fury and Wilder, which ended in a scandalous draw, the Briton weighed just over 116 pounds. Before the second fight he was already 7,5 kilos heavier, which was taken as a sign of poor fitness of "The Gypsy King", which nobody saw in the ring, and he dominated completely over the "Bronze Bomber".
