What Did Usyk & Fury Weigh-In At For Their First Fight?
December 21st will of course be the second time Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk face off in the ring. The pair of heavyweight icons battled it out back in May, with Usyk becoming the first undisputed heavyweight king since Lennox Lewis.
The undefeated Ukrainian handed ‘The Gypsy King’ the first defeat of his career, beating the Englishman via split decision and almost knocking him out in Round 9.
For their first fight, both Usyk and Fury weighed-in the evening prior to fight night. Oleksandr Usyk came in at a career heaviest 233.5lbs, which was almost a full stone heavier than his fight with Daniel Dubois in August 2023.
For Fury, he came in at a relatively lean 262lbs, which is the lightest he weighed in almost five years since his Otto Wallin fight back in 2019.
For the rematch, boxing fans are expecting Tyson Fury to weigh-in around a stone heavier than the first fight, with Usyk likely to weigh-in at a similar weight to first time around.
Ahead of the rematch, Oleksandr Usyk is the favourite with the best boxing betting sites in the UK. This comes as no surprise given that he won the first fight seven months ago.
