    I'm a normal sized man and weigh a bit over 2 lbs extra with indoor clothes. Fury is not only much bigger than me, but also had shoes and a jacket on. Absolutely no way it was just 3 lbs in total.

    A leather jacket from a 6'7 Fury could easily add 10 pounds. Add in sneakers, and layers, Fury is likely like 271

    So instead of paying off the ref they now pay off the programmers. Interesting change for sure.

    I don’t believe he’s anything like 281. Like the beard, it’s all misdirection.
    You can tell when Tyson Fury is lying because his lips move.

    Hard to say, Frank.

    It's almost a 50-50 again.

    Leaning towards the nUkrainian, though.

    I think fury’s come in heavier so that he can take the punches better. And I think he’s going to go all out for usyk. It’s gonna be wilder 3 again. But I think usyk will stop him

    He bet real money with his head and usually won, but not always. His advice to me, personally, about betting real money on fights was "Don't do it, Shay!" So you are definitely correct on that.

    I've been weighed at doctors offices lately. Shoes and clothes, including sweater, add no more than 4 to 6 pounds. Fury weighs at least 275....14 pounds (1 stone) more than he did earlier this year. And I guarantee you it ain't 24 pounds of muscles!

    About a kilo of difference for me.

    About 3kg difference between getting up and after supper.

    Usyk for the win. People thinking Fury will ko usyk are delusional. Could Fury win by decision? Yes of course as al Turkey has the ref and judges in his back pocket.

    Fury usually weighs 300 pounds so 10 pounds to him equals 1 bowel movement.

    I just weighed myself with shoes and leather jacket on. 6 lbs more than what I weighed in briefs the moment prior. And I'm 6 foot and 170 lbs, so Fury's clothes are a lot larger than mine.

    In other words, he's pretty much what he weighed in Wilder 2. If it's fat or muscle, we'll see tomorrow. But if he just fattened up he's cooked.

    Like I said, 6 pounds. Make it 8 for Fury. That's 273. 12 pounds over the first fight.
