Fans think Tyson Fury could have 'tricked' everyone during the weigh-in for his fight against Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday (21 December).

Fury and Usyk are set to re-enter the ring in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday night, with a ring walk of around 10.55pm GMT planned.

It's the second time the pair have been in the ring together, with the Ukrainian handing Manchester-native Fury his first career loss in their first bout back in May 2024.

A close fight, Usyk won by split decision with two judges giving the result to him while a third said that Fury had edged it.

Ahead of the fight, the pair had a weigh-in at Wonder Garden on Friday (20 December) evening.

While Fury weighed in at 20st 1lb (281lb), Usyk is now two pounds heavier than he was back in May, weighing 16st 2lb (226lb).

The difference in weight means that Fury is now just under four stone heavier than Usyk and 19lb heavier than he was in May.

However, fans were quick to notice that Fury appeared to be wearing multiple layers of clothing, meanwhile Usyk also stayed fully clothed.

One wrote: "I mean, Fury with all his clothes and shoes on including a leather jacket. He's probs around 270-273," while another said: "He’s wearing clothes, without clothes he probably is weighing around 277 which is about what he weighed in the wilder rematch."

And a third added: "Tyson Fury 281 pounds in full clothing with a heavy jacket. Nearly 20 pounds more than the May meeting with Oleksandr Usyk."

A fourth pointed out: "What’s going on here why are they doing weigh ins with clothes on? Fury got a whole leather jacket on tf?"

Some claimed that Fury had worn the layers to 'get into Usyk's head' prior to the fight.

Meanwhile, over on his promoter's social media, Queensberry Promotions wrote: "That @tysonfury weight difference.

"All the preparation is finished. Tomorrow two of the best heavyweights will clash once again."

LADbible has reached out to Fury's rep for comment.
