Fury, who looked to be significantly heavier in recent training snaps, took to the scales first after a spectacular walk.

But the former WBC king opted NOT to reveal his physique as he tipped the scales, which recorded him weighing a staggering 20 STONE (281lbs).

His career-heaviest weight, however, was cleary the result of the SEVERAL LAYERS of clothing he was wearing.

Former undisupted king Usyk soon followed, weighing in at just over 16 stone (226lbs).

Fury, 36, weighed 18 stone, seven pounds (262 lb) for his first meeting with the slick southpaw.

Usyk, meanwhile, came in at 15 stone, nine pounds for the pair’s May melee – which he won via split decision.

The pair took part in a mammoth 11-MINUTE-LONG staredown in Thursday’s final pre-match press conference.

They were eventually separated by security and members of their team before Fury flew into a fit of rage.

He said: “I’m going to dish out a whole lot of pain.

“That’s all I’ve got to say. The talking’s been done.

“The first fight I talked, I joked, all my career. This fight I’m serious.

“I’m going to do some f***ing damage.”

But he wasn’t in the mood for talking after the final pre-fight formalities, simply saying “war” as he made his way off stage.
