Tyson Fury is heading into the last fight of his storied career a few pounds lighter than usual.
The reigning, undefeated WBC champion weighed in at 264 pounds Friday for his main event title bout against No. 1 contender Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs). Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) and Whyte meet Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London in what is expected to be the final fight of Fury’s career.
Though Fury will have an 11-pound weight advantage over Whyte, he actually came in 13 pounds lighter than he did for his October 2021 trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder. On the other side, Whyte came in at 253 pounds, six pounds heavier than he did for his March 2021 rematch against Alexander Povetkin.
Fury addressed the crowd following the official weigh in, and the verdict was clearly in Fury’s favor.
“You know what, you guys are f****** unbelievable,” Fury said. I’m thrilled to be fighting again at Wembley Stadium. You people made it possible, every one of you. Dillian Whyte’s team deserves a huge shout out. We are professional men, and will give you a real fight. Don’t be fooled.
“We are putting on a show like none other, it’s going to be a battle, don’t worry .”
