Tommy Fury fails to make weight on Floyd Mayweather vs Deji undercard

Tommy Fury has failed to make weight ahead of his fight with Paul Bamba on Floyd Mayweather's undercard.

Fury returns to the ring on Sunday night in Dubai in a bid to maintain his unbeaten professional career to date. The 23-year-old last fought in April on brother Tyson's undercard and will come under the spotlight again when he faces off against Bamba on the undercard of Mayweather's latest exhibition fight with YouTuber Deji.

The pair weighed in on Saturday with Fury coming in at a hefty 181.4lbs - over 7lbs more than his opponent, who was quick to criticise the Love Island star as verbals were exchanged. Bamba, who weighed in at 174.6lbs, told Fury: "You don't make weight. It sucks. You are about 7lbs overweight and I want the world to know. Everyone is going to find out."
