    Nah, he just can't get rid of the love handles is all. Remember, he ballooned up to 400lbs so his skin stretched out considerable. He's lost the fast but the stretch marks and slightly excessive blubber are here to stay.

    His upper shoulders, chest, arms, forearms are sturdy so he has taken this seriously. He himself knows that just ONE punch from Whyte could lay him out because the left hook is often an unseen punch.

    The guys a complete narcissist. He's entertaining but he hates not being the centre of attention.

    It was Big John trying to steal the show.

    Hilarious them both chilling everyone out at the end so they can face off.

    Whyte seemed fine IMO.

    I meant the spare tyre. He didn't have that in the second fight, at least not one as big.

    He had his shirt on for the weigh in on the second fight and he had his trunks above his belly - it's always been there.

    Seemed t be John Fury the "never was" being a drama queen as usual, fair play to Tyson who quelled it right away...Whyte looks very chilled to me, if anything I'd say Fury was a bit on edge...maybe not a bad thing...​

    Fury and Whyte were more concerned with the idiots that were with them than anything else. Both fighters were respectful to each other and looked calm and ready to go. Fury and Whyte are seasoned pros that know the talking time is over the tickets have all been sold and it’s nearly fight time to do there job.May the best man win without controversy.

    Got the feeling that both guys were a bit wary of something kicking off at the presser… You could see when their teams were about to go at it, the two men just couldn’t be bothered with it. Was expecting more excitement when they finally came face to face but both fighters are just focused on the fight now.

    Fair point.

    I didn't see those love handles in the build-up to the second Wilder fight but then again Fury didn't take his shirt off for the weigh-in!

    Whyte looks lost, shifty-eyed and apprehensive. He knows.

    Yes, you're right.

    Would the trunks also allow him to hide a larger protective guard which would help protect him from body blows as well as low blows?

    I would have thought the authorities would check up on stuff like this going into the bout and prevent that from happening.

    A good press conference all round. Fury & Whyte were respectful of each other & their abilities in the ring. Some good jokes & banter here & there (Dillian saying "That's what she's said" when the interviewer talked about him "working hard to rise up" was hilarious).

    The only letdown was "Old Man" John at the end trying to start a scene. They should have left him at home...

    The guy is desperate for any media attention he can get. Living vicariously & leeching off of his son's fame & succees is all he has in staying relevant...
