What Did Usyk & Fury Weigh-In At For Their First Fight?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

December 21st will of course be the second time Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk<\/a> 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> in August 2023.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

For the rematch, boxing<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the rematch, Oleksandr Usyk is the favourite with the best boxing betting sites in the UK<\/a>. This comes as no surprise given that he won the first fight seven months ago.<\/p>\n
