Tyson Fury will weigh the lightest in three years
John Fury reveals a surprising update on Tyson Fury’s weight leading up to the boxing match against Dillian Whyte.
Tyson Fury is one of the biggest heavyweight boxers out there. The Gypsy King usually weighs in at 270lbs + during his fights. John Fury has revealed in a recent open workout live stream on Frank Warren TV that his son would weigh lighter than in his previous fight.
Fury took on Deontay Wilder in a trilogy fight last year and knocked him out to secure a win. Fury weighed in at a career highest of 277 pounds for his last outing. The fighter has revealed this time around too that he will be looking to knockout Dillian Whyte in the upcoming fight. Fury and Whyte take on each other at the Wembley Stadium, this weekend on Saturday.
It is surprising that Big John says that the boxer is slightly less in the weight given that his coach, SugarHill Steward has suggested they will look for the knockout against Whyte.

John Fury says Tyson Fury has worked the hardest in this training camp
“He’s a bit lighter to tell you the truth, than his last fight, yeah,” said Big John talking to Frank Warren TV ahead of the huge fight. “I reckon on the night he’ll be about 18st 11lbs or 18st 12lbs. He’s worked hard in this camp, he’s probably worked harder in this camp than any other.” Tyson weighed 277 lbs in the Wilder fight and will most probably weigh in at 263-265 pounds in his upcoming fight.
“He’s done the road work, he’s done the rounds of sparring, he’s done the heavy bag, he’s done the strength and conditioning. He’s ate and slept this game for the last eight weeks. This kid, believe me, he’s got an engine second to none,” praised John Fury.
