Weight a minute

Tyson Fury tipped the scales at a CAREER-HEAVY weight for his do-or-die rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury, who looked to be significantly heavier in recent training snaps, took to the scales first after a spectacular walk.

But the former WBC king opted NOT to reveal his physique as he tipped the scales, which recorded him weighing a staggering 20 STONE (281lbs).

His career-heaviest weight, however, was clearly the result of the SEVERAL LAYERS of clothing he was wearing.

Former undisputed king Usyk soon followed, weighing in at just over 16 stone (226lbs).
