Tyson Fury has weighed in heavier than Derek Chisora ahead of their fight on Saturday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Four pounds heavier than his last outing against Dillian Whyte, ‘The Gypsy King’ weighed in at 268lbs 10oz after promising fans he and Chisora would trade punches in the middle of the ring at the first bell.
The challenger, Derek Chisora, officially weighed in lighter than the WBC heavyweight champion at 260lbs 10oz. ‘WAR’ Chisora comes in heavier than his last scrap against Kubrat Pulev.
He's about as calm and composed as you like…

Tyson Fury walked to the scales to the noise of his version of Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline and the sound of the fans enjoying the tune, giving a glimpse of what could be expected on the night of the battle in an apparently sold out stadium.
Following the weigh in, the pair shared an intense stare down as the champion appeared confident ahead of their clash for the WBC title. Fury told fans they can expect ‘carnage’ and a quick night at the office.
“BANG! I hit him, he hits the floor and I drive straight back to Morecambe Bay.”
The laid back Chisora has promised to put on a show for the fans who have paid their hard earned money to watch the British heavyweight dust up.
“People have paid money and we have to deliver a good fight.”
Fury could potentially be just one fight and one victory away from an undisputed clash against Oleksandr Usyk who holds the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO at heavyweight but he will need to get through he rough and ready Derek Chisora first.
The ring walk on Saturday night is expected to be at 9pm and the fans unable to attend the event in London will be able to watch the action live on BT Sport Box Office for £26.95.
