Fury and Whyte ready for 'war' at Wembley
Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte are ready to go to "war" at Wembley on Sunday (AEST) after the WBC world heavyweight champion weighed in less than a stone heavier than his fellow Brit.
Fury tipped the scales at 18 stone 12 pounds on the eve of the blockbuster battle in London.
Challenger Whyte had weighed in at 18st 1lb at Boxpark before the two Englishmen engaged in a friendly face-off.
Fury was lighter than expected as he prepares for the second defence of a title he won by beating Deontay Wilder in 2020.
The Gypsy King, who beat Wilder in a thrilling trilogy fight last October, has claimed this will be the last bout of his career.
If it proves to be his swansong, the unbeaten Fury plans to sign off in style in his homeland.
He said: "I'm so happy to be back here, fighting at Wembley Stadium, and you all [(fans] made it happen.
"Big shout out to Dillian Whyte and his team, proper professional men. We're going to put on a show, it's going to be a war – don't worry about that."
Whyte says he has no concerns about Fury being heavier than him.
Asked about the significance of his weight, he replied: "Nothing, some fights are different. Fighting a bigger guy, a much heavier guy than me.
"We're ready to go to war, trust me. I'm not worried about what he's doing."
