Usyk does not weigh 233. He's playing mind games. Pics inside.

    I analyzed the videos of Usyk's last 3 weigh-ins and Usyk doesn't look all that different. In fact, he looks slimmer than he was for the Dubois fight, where he looked slightly out of shape.

    Compare all the pictures from all 3 weigh ins. Usyk doesn't look any bigger for this fight. He looks to be in really good shape. I think he's just playing mind games and was carrying some weights in his pocket to mess with Fury.

    Probably 226
    He could have drank litres of water prior to weigh in and clothes/chain add few pounds

    When I used to compete, I would load up on water, then do a water cut

    Pretty much I would drink 10-12 litres per day on the days leading up to weigh in, then drastically cut the water right down to mere sips

    Drink 2 litres of water and weigh yourself before and after. You will gain a couple of pounds easily, especially if you have ate also

    He looks leaner, and bulkier. Muscle weighs more than fat.

    Not a good sign.

    Good insight - he certainly looks better and did have on jeans + a chain, not sure if shoes were on. I’d venture he truly weighed 230 but his body looks better.

    He weighed in with clothes and jewelry on too, so unless they actually weighed in in the back before this, I don't think those weights are accurate.

    He looks more fit than he did for Dubois too.

    Yes , its a small cheating of usyk . His ukrainian flag with the 'bulat9' inscript is also a political message as expected from him .

    Very unusual to appear in jeans for weight in and the chain / cross looks pretty heavy . A thick jeans alone can weigh 3-4 lbs , then take the cross from unknown material and also poasibility to deposit weights in the jeans .

    I guess usyk in reality is close the aj2 regarding weight .

    He further prooved his balls are not even close to his navel should he cry for a low blow again ;-)

    2 liters of water is 4.4lbs... just drinking lots of water like Adam T said, could do that, as lnog as he doesn't wee it out.

    I feel like its def somekind of mind games, because its working , since we are all talking about it. Fury clan is quite large, loud and have more teeth than brain cells, so they are probably chiming in with opinions

    I did the experiment at home. In underwear I weigh 78 kilos and with jeans I go up to 78.8. If he had a cell phone in his pocket we could probably add 150g.

    He's definitely softer than the Joshua rematch. There is no doubt about that.

    Eat a burger and fries, plenty of salt and 2 litres of water and there is your 5 or 6 pounds

    I didn't know the exact math, so thanks for that. But I did know drinking litres adds weight fast until you pee

    I have cut 10 plus pounds just from water manipulation and a hot bath in the morning

    Sunday 6 litres
    Monday 8l
    Tuesday 10L
    Wednesday 10L
    Thursday 12L
    Friday 2 litres until 3-4 o'clock and only sips after.
    Saturday morning hot bath, only sipping water and easily weighing 10 plus pounds less until weigh in that afternoon

    I have cut even.more weight when doing light workout in sauna and lowering carbs

    what? did you look at the photos posted above? look at the difference in muscle to fat ratio at his hips. his external obliques are much better defined today. less fat. those muscles control the twisting and bending of your torso. if you dont work those muscles the fat lies on it flat, lacking definition. when you work them the muscles round out, forcing the fat to bend around it, giving it definition.

    Well, it's official. Buffer got the weight wrong.

    Usyk is 223.19 lbs with jeans and jewellery.
