    Even if he comes at 205 lbs, he has more than enough power to KO Fury. The question is does he have the skills to land a fight-ending punch? The last time they fought Wilder couldn't land qnything on Fury for the last 2 minutes after almost taking him out

    Proly right around the same give or take a couple pounds. Most likely give. Under 220 for my guess

    I’m going to say around same as last time, he has a real hard time putting weight on and he’s basically having back to back camps so he’s probably having a hard time keeping the weight on.

    Don't doubt that but if Fury comes in fit and heavier than last time and decides to fight on the inside Wilder could get rag dolled with such a weight gap discrepancy.

    Deas said low to mid-220s, but I see it more like 215-220. It's totally enough and it's the most balanced option IMO.

    How much difference would a few extra pounds make to that risk though?

    Fury went into the first fight after extended weight cutting. When cutting naturally for so long you lose strength, impossible to prevent it.

    Whatever weight Fury comes in at I expect him to be a lot stronger. Few extra pounds whilst being stronger might might enough of a different to lend itself to particular strategies (or a good plan 'B' if needed). Think Whyte Vs Parker type mauling tactics, possibly.

    Is there VADA testing for this fight? I haven’t seen any reports suggesting it is
