    I think Fury is in the best shape since the Wlad fight.

    Pretty clear Fury is in the low/mid 260's. He isn't looking for bulky as Wilder 2. Doesn't need it, better to trade that bulk for more endurance and agility for Usyk.

    Fury at his leanest in his early 20's could hang around the 250's but not anymore. The Wlad scales were rigged saying he got down to 247. If I had to put money 264 would be where I'd put him....and whether he wants to wear clothes or drink a pint beforehand will dictate a few pounds either side. It's a none issue people like to read into it too much. Both will be ready as they can be. Their dodgy ailing joints are their biggest enemies.

    Meanwhile Usyk will be his normal 220.

    Fury should be the same weight as he was in the Wilder 1 fight.

    Still nothing about the weigh locality. I've been all over the internet even into the Kingdom Hall website. You'd think they'd be hyping up the event.

    Usyk 220-223 as per his optimal weight



    Fury should want to get to the mid 260s and looks leaner, but he always looks fat to an extent because his body just can't be fit after all the binging and damage he's done to it.

    270+ Fury probably tires at Usyk's workrate

    A 250s and lower Fury likely isn't attainable without losing a lot of power due to cutting so drastically, as he was ~278 against Ngannou in december

    You actually went to SA for a fight? Or do you live there for work?

    I'm going to this fight, leaving for Dubai on Monday. I'll post in here during the fight is the Arabs won't cut off my hands for doing so.

    No I live in Dallas. Not SA.

    So jealous you get to see it live, it will definitely be a lifelong memory. All the best to you in your travels, represent the ESB crowd well!!

    I have really enjoyed most places that I've been to in the ME, but don't expect much culture in Dubai or SA lol.

    I don't think Fury can go under 260 lbs at his age without seriously risking athletic performance, be it power or stamina. He is going to be 36 soon and has been abusing his body for a long time with drinking and eating junk. He seems to be somewhere in the 260-265 region. Usyk will weigh his usual HW weight of around 220-221. People always make wild guesses about how he packed on 10 lbs of muscle and how huge he looks during camp but he is always the same come weigh-in, around 220-221.

    Dubai is a fake cyber Disneyland for tourists. Used to be a small,dusty seaport but the Emirates decided to turn it into a playground. Built on virtual slave labor but whatever....smart move by the Arabs. Alchohol is readily available at bars and hotels.

    Riyadh is another story. No booze.
