Tyson Fury has risked sacrificing his renowned speed and agility by weighing in a stone heavier than his first WBC heavyweight title fight against Deontay Wilder for Saturday's rematch.

The Briton looked fleshy as he hit 19st 7lbs on the scales, a huge three stone heavier than Wilder, who weighed in at 16st 7lbs.

Fury had always been expected to come in bulkier than he was for their draw in December 2018, with the theory being that it would help him deal with Wilder's concussive power better. Fury weighed 18st 4lbs 8oz for their first showdown, with Wilder 15st 2lbs 8oz.

"I really don't know what their plans are or what he's going to do or not going to do," Wilder said.

"So if you want to bring the fight, then come on, let's make it happen, that will benefit me more than anything, him coming full at me.

"So I hope they stick with that game plan and follow it through and aren't just talking for hype.

"Actually do what you say you're going to do. I'm looking forward to it."

The Alabama native added: "Deep down in his heart, I really feel that he's nervous.

"I really feel that he's very, very nervous from the first time of what happened.

"When you knock a person down and give him a concussion, you never forget that. You never forget who did it to you and how they did it.

"And when you crawl back in the ring with him a second time to relive that moment all over again, there has to be stress; You definitely can't sleep at night."
