Fury weighs in over 11 pounds more than Whyte

Boxing

LONDON — Tyson Fury was a career-high 277 pounds when he scored a knockout of Deontay Wilder in October.

“The Gypsy King” was decidedly slimmer at Friday’s weigh-in ahead of Saturday’s heavyweight title defense vs. Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium (2 p.m. ET, ESPN+ PPV).

Fury tipped the scales at 264.8 pounds at BoxPark Wembley before a raucous crowd of Brits who cheered on his every dance move, shadowbox punch and word.

Whyte, who was waited more than 1,600 days for his first title shot, weighed 253.25 pounds.
