It’s rare for former heavyweight king Tyson Fury not to be the bigger man when he weighs in and he’ll be the bigger man once again when he takes on unified champ Oleksandr Usyk in a direct rematch at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on December 21.

In their first bout, Fury was 28 ½ pounds heavier when the two men hit the scales. However, Usyk proved that size doesn’t matter when he rallied down the stretch to drop “The Gypsy King” and secure a memorable split decision triumph.
To give away almost 30 pounds of functional weight to an opponent is a huge challenge but Usyk has always had the requisite speed, skills, mobility, and durability to overcome the size disadvantage. That’s just as well because Fury looks like he might have put on even more bulk ahead of the rematch.
