Good lad; I was talking to his father in law this morning. He needs to knuckle down as Rogan is a tough cookie.

So Fury in at 245 and 3/4.

Rogan at 228 and 1/4.

Rogan's at his lightest for some time too.

Why was Rogan so pissed off at the officals at the weigh-in? Something to do about a contract or summit..

I heard him keep saying about a contract,but what about it?? Wheres Slap,im sure he can enlighten us...

Fury looks to have knuckled down for this fight. Can see him dominating Rogie before stopping him late.

It was an argument with the BUI official about a document that needed to be signed so that he could fight for the Irish title over 12 rounds.

I have a video on my channel with the argument but cant post it here as the powers that be only allow me post two links a week! :(

More to follow, I hear something is being worked on behind the scenes.

So is it over 12rounds?

I thought that 12 rounds was the recognised distance for a national title bout?

I think fury`s gonna looked the best he`s looked since turning pro.its a really good sign he`s lost so much weight and got he head in gear,i believe he could beat price based on this alone.

The vast majority of national titles are over 10 rounds. UK, Mexico and South Africa are to only real boxing nations that have 12 rounds as standard.

Thanks; I didn't realise that.

I'm glad that Fury is finally taking boxing seriously & getting himself into proper shape, although, with respect to Rogan, Fury might have gotten away with not training as hard, ironically, as Rogan is semi retired & ancient.

I was thinking between 245-250lbs but you never know with Tyson, 245lbs shows he's finally got his diet sorted out and i expect him to put on a great performance tomorrow and maybe even stop Rogan early.

And a short heavy.
Fury is better in every department apart from chin.
I would like to see him fight a guy nearly as tall as himself at least

Well if Harrison wins against Adams then i wouldn't be surprised if we get Harrison-Fury next.

Well if Harrison doesnt bottle it at least he could connect and does have a good straight left that could give Fury a problem or two.

Im happy with this weigh in both look in great shape and great to see fury training hard maybe he will reach his potential if he trains like this and come in shape for every fight

About time he got rid of the unwanted and began to look like an athlete

You have to question any professional athlete who takes three years to finally show up in something approaching decent shape.

I don't buy into Tyson Fury at all, regardless of what he does with the old, semi-retired Rogan.

Glad to see Fury has got the unwanted pounds off. Right from the beginning of his career fitness and stamina have been issues for him. I cant see Rogan winning but I do think he will come to win and give Fury a few problems. Maybe a late stoppage is possible. I cant agree with anyone who thinks Fury could beat Price. I think Price would KO Fury.

Fury looks pretty good, it's aparrent that despite his size, he's not really a huge man physically. If that makes sense. His arms, back and chest aren't that big, and his legs are pretty skinny, he's built kind of like a beefy highjumper.

I think he could lose another 10-12 lbs of extra flesh, and could also do with adding another 10-15 of muscle.

He's a little way to go in terms of conditioning in my opinion, but he's heading the right way.

You know what I mean though right?
