Tyson Fury has tipped the scales at his lightest in five years for his undisputed heavyweight world title bout against Oleksandr Usyk.

The heavyweight titans, Fury and Usyk, are set to clash on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia, vying for the first undisputed champion title in their weight class in a quarter of a century.

Both fighters stepped onto the scales on Friday evening in Riyadh for the weigh-in ahead of the highly-anticipated fight. Fury clocked in at 262lb, while Usyk was notably lighter than his opponent, weighing in at 223lb.

As Usyk took to the scale, he was met with chants of "You big dosser". The tension between Fury and Usyk escalated as they came face-to-face, requiring security to intervene after both fighters made weight. "We're ready to rock and roll, fireworks tomorrow night," Fury declared before launching into a profanity-laden tirade aimed at Usyk's team, reports the Mirror. "I'm going to knock this little f***er spark out," I'm coming for his heart, that's what I'm coming for.
