This is very close to his mathematically-calculated average weight for all 26 of his bouts that he has competed in to-date, which is 257¼lbs. His average weight during the last five years works out at 262½lbs.
Based on my comparison of the photos of Fury’s weigh-in’s for both the Pianeta and Klitschko bouts, it’s pretty clear that Tyson seems less ripped, with less muscle than he did during his 2015 heyday.
That being said, Fury’s physical transformation over the last twelve months has been nothing short of extraordinary and if he maintains his current trajectory with his fitness levels, he won’t be far removed from his physical prime when he faces Deontay Wilder in November.
I can’t help thinking that Tyson’s main priorities for both of his comeback fights so far has been to lose weight. I don’t think he needs to bother doing that anymore. He now needs to focus solely on fitness and skills prior to facing ‘The Bronze Bomber’.
What are your thoughts?
