After his usual rousing performance with “former lineal and two-time heavyweight world champion, the Gypsy King Tysooooooon Fuuuury,” the man from Morecambe appeared and strolled onto the stage in a black leather jacket and simple white jeans. Understatement? Fury? Well, yes.

When Oleksandr Usyk joined him moments later, the Ukrainian’s purple and green detailed tracksuit stood out from a mile away, in stark contrast to Fury’s outfit, which made him as invisible as a 6-foot-tall human can be .

Without removing a single article of clothing, Fury climbed onto the scale at Buffer’s direction and stared down at it while the group of officials on stage appeared to have a discussion about the final result. “Let’s go 81,” you heard him say at one point, and there it was: “281 pounds for the challenger, the Gypsy KingBuffer announced. That’s a career high for the Brit – 4 pounds heavier than he weighed in his second, devastating fight against Deontay Wilder. How much of this weight can be shifted to the wardrobe? Who knows, but he’s probably still heavier than the 262 pounds he weighed in their first fight in May.

When Usyk stepped onto the scale, he took off his workout top but kept his t-shirt and pants on and hung a large silver cross around his neck. The result? 226 poundsalso heavier than her first fight, but a much more modest 3 pounds overall. On the night of the fight there could be up to 55 pounds (nearly 4 stone) between the two men.
