World Boxing Championship,Joshua Wahab,Final Press Conference

Boxing: Heavyweights Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk faced off after their final press conference, with the Gypsy King opting to avoid any eye contact with his opponent.

For the first time in 25 years, boxing will crown an undisputed heavyweight world champion on Sunday when Tyson Fury faces Oleksandr Usyk .

Experts were shocked that Usyk weighed in so heavy, given he has been incredibly consistent throughout his career, typically weighing in about 220-221 pounds. Even when his real weight was announced – not the announced 233.5 pounds – it was still the heaviest he had weighed in for any fight. But it’s still significantly lighter than his opponent, with Fury weighing in at 262 pounds – which itself is significantly lighter than his typical weight.
