On the undercard of the exhibition fight between Floyd Mayweather and popular blogger Deji, an undefeated prospect Tommy Fury (8-0, 4 KOs), the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, did not meet the allotted light heavyweight limit and showed 181.5 pounds (82.32 kg) on the scales, that is, three kilograms more than expected. At the moment, his opponent in the scheduled 6-round bout, American Paul Bamba (5-2, 4 KOs), who weighed in at 174.6 pounds, refuses to fight until "financial conditions" corresponding to the advantage are agreed. Fury, in turn, promises a spectacular knockout.
“What can be a knockout if you don’t do weight? It sucks. He's three kilos overweight, by the way," Bamba said.
Fury's team tells a different story, claiming that the fighters were given two different contracts with different weight limits. Bamba told local reporters that he would need financial compensation to continue the fight. Fury didn't seem to be bothered by the situation and was confident the fight would go ahead.
