Fury weighs in at a career-heavy 20st 1lb
Fury was first to the scales and didn’t even take his jacket off, nevermind his gold jewellery.
The Morecambe man weighs in at 20st 1lb or 281 lbs.
Fury weighed 18st 7lb when these two met back in May.
“Facts of the matter: tomorrow night we’re gonna fight out who is the best,” says promoter Frank Warren. “Tyson’s favorite” for a TKO win, he adds. Hmmm… not sure about that, Frank. We’ll find out tomorrow night.

But don’t worry – you haven’t missed anything. We’re still waiting for Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk to hit the scales.
Elsewhere, the last-minute Peter McGrail vs Rhys Edwards fight has been confirmed as a super featherweight clash. McGrail says he’s “ready” and has a lot of respect for Edwards, who steps in at late notice to replace Dennis McCann.
Fun fact: Tyson Fury’s beard length was officially cleared and sanctioned yesterday. The Morecambe bomber’s bushy visage attracted the ire of Usyk’s camp, who are still protesting its length. Presumably they want Fury to get a better ‘uppercut’?

Is it true that Usyk vs Fury 2 will feature an AI judge?
Yes, the AI experiment will be “free from bias and human error” according to Turki Alalshikh the man behind the tool. You might be relieved to hear that the so-called ‘AI judge’ will not be used for official scorecards.
It’s certainly an interesting idea but we’re not convinced AI judges will solve boxing’s scoring problem.
What time are main event ringwalks?
Good question. Being a live fight, timings are changeable and it’s not unusual for big showdowns to start later (sometimes much later) than originally advertised.

5.20pm ET / 10.20pm GMT – 10 mins of live entertainment

What happened in the first Fury vs Usyk 2 fight?
Since you’re getting ready to watch the Fury vs Usyk rematch, you might want to catch up with the events of May 18, when the pair first clashed.
Billed as ‘Ring of Fire’, Fury showboated his way through the first round but was soon struggling to hold his own against Usyk. The Gypsy King landed an uppercut in the sixth round but his momentum was short-lived. Usyk landed 14 punches in the ninth round and Fury was given a standing count.
After 12 rounds Usyk defeated Fury by split decision. It was first loss of Fury’s career and put an end to the undisputed heavyweight champion of boxing’s four-belt era, setting the stage for a highly anticipated rematch.
