What To Make of Tyson Fury’s Weigh In
Fury tipping the scales at a ready 265-pounds may come as a shock to some people. In recent times, Fury has weighed a decent bit heavier than that, tipping the scales at 277-pounds in his last fight back in October against Deontay Wilder.
Before that, in the second Wilder clash, Fury weighed 273-pounds. This is the lightest that ‘The Gypsy King’ has weighed in at since his 2019 fight with Otto Wallin, where he tipped the scales at just 254-pounds.
Does this mean Fury is going to take a more back foot approach to the fight? This may well indicate that Fury is more content to box and move this time around, rather than coming forward and putting it on Whyte from the very first bell.
Only time will tell what Fury’s approach is in the fight and all will be revealed tomorrow night when the first bell rings at Wembley Stadium!
What to Make of Dillian Whyte’s Weigh In
Dillian Whyte’s weight at Friday’s weigh in will have come as less of a shock to boxing fans.
‘The Body Snatcher’ tipped the scales at 253-pounds, which is six-pounds heavier than he weighed in for his last fight with Povetkin in March of last year.
What does this mean for Whyte and what effect will this have on his game plan for Saturday night? Well, we think it is fairly obviously what Whyte’s approach will be.
As he is slightly heavier and is fighting the bigger, taller, stronger man, we think Whyte will be searching for that knockout from the get go. The majority of boxing fans can only see Whyte winning by knockout if he is to get his hand raised, which coincides with his weight at Friday’s weigh in.
The fight is on with both men weighing in and facing off ahead of Saturday’s super-fight for the WBC world heavyweight title.
It’s ON!
