Tyson Fury tips the scales one pound heavier than Wladimir Klitschko in low-key weigh-in

Tyson Fury tipped the scales at 17st 8lb

TYSON FURY stared Wladimir Klitschko down as the pair weighed in for their WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight clash.

 

The British challenger tipped the scales at 17st 8lb with the champion a pound lighter.

The weigh-in for tomorrow night’s clash was a low-key affair at the offices of Karstadt Sports – a major sponsor of Klitschko - outside of Dusseldorf.

Unusually for a fight of this magnitude only the media and select guests were allowed in due to security reasons.

Fury, 27, was smiling and looked relaxed as he walked up to the stage closely followed by Klitschko.

 

The Ukrainian fist pumped all of Fury’s team but the fighter himself refused.

Both men then stepped on the scales before a long stare down during which they did not exchange a word.

Fury then shook his opponent’s hand before exiting the stage.

He said: “You can see I’ve come in light, I’ve done the work, he has also come in light so we are going for speed. Speed equals explosive power.”
