    Not one TV/YouTube expert challenged Usyk's wrongly announced weight and several have been obsessing about closeups of the wrong scar on Fury's eye.

    Not one mentioned that Buffer announced Fury as the Ring magazine champion. Not once, but twice, on two separate days.

    Maybe the announce wasn't wrong, maybe he really weighs 233?

    "May 18 (Reuters) - Oleksandr Usyk's weight was announced incorrectly and the Ukrainian is 10 pounds lighter than stated for Saturday's heavyweight unification fight with Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia, his promoter said.
    Alex Krassyuk told Sky Sports television that the WBA, IBF and WBO champion actually weighed in at 223 pounds but was announced as 233 and a half pounds (105.9kg), the heaviest he has been in his career."

    Let’s hope the million dollar announcer reads out the correct scores, if it goes the 12!
