Tyson Fury weighed in over a stone heavier than last time for his huge rematch with Deontay Wilder in front of 4,000 passionate fans at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.Wilder was also over a stone heavier and the Bronze Bomber tipped the scales at 16st 7lbs after coming in at 15st 2lbs 8oz for the first fight 14 months ago.
Fury has vowed to knock Wilder out to avoid being robbed by the judges like he was at the Los Angeles’ Staples Center. Fury was cheered much more than Wilder by the audience in the Arena and the British fight fans have travelled here in their thousands to support him.Wilder played down his weight gain and Fury’s size advantage, saying: “It really doesn’t matter at heavyweight. I’ve always had to fight bigger guys than me and his extra weight is only going to slow him down.“I said to him he’s nervous. He’s changed his trainers, he’s dipping his hands in gasoline. I can’t wait.
