Just a night out from their massive four-title rematch this weekend, Tyson Fury will likely look to utilize his size to weigh on champion, Oleksandr Usyk — if today’s weigh-in results are anything to go by, with the Morecambe native coming in 55lbs heavier than the Ukrainian ahead of their clash.

Fury, a former undisputed WBC heavyweight champion, returns to the ring this weekend against former undisputed world heavyweight champion, Usyk — with the two renewing their May matchup, in which the Ukraine favorite landed a one-sided split decision win in Saudi Arabia.
