Oleksandr Usyk is going to have another tall task in Tyson Fury again Saturday.
While Oleksandr Usyk tipped the scales at 226 pounds, Fury recorded 281 pounds at Usyk vs. Fury 2 weigh-ins Friday afternoon in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Both Usyk and Fury had their clothes on when they stepped on the scale, which may explain the 55-pound difference.
In their first fight, Oleksandr Usyk weighed 223.5 pounds, while Tyson Fury hit 262 pounds.
Oleksandr Usyk (22-0) is the 2012 Olympic gold medalist in boxing. He turned professional in 2013 and has been dominant since, becoming the first (and thus far only) undisputed cruiserweight champion in the four-belt era. Most recently, Usyk defeated Fury via split decision to become the undisputed heavyweight champion this past May, before later vacating the IBF heavyweight championship in June.
Fury (34-1-1) is one of the most decorated heavyweight champions in recent history, and he suffered his first career professional loss to Usyk in their previous showdown. The judges scored the close fight 115–112, 114–113, 113–114, to Usyk.
