Tyson Fury weighs in at 26 pounds (about 12 kilograms) less than opponent Mariusz Wach ahead of their heavyweight fight on Friday in Thailand. Multiple outlets report it is the first time in 15 years that Fury tips the scales lower than his rival, and that it is only the fourth occasion he weighs less than an opponent in his career. Fury addresses the weight difference by saying he is “Mr Slim now,” framing it as part of being better prepared for the contest. The Independent quotes him describing himself as “sharper, fitter and stronger” in the lead-up to the bout, while BBC News similarly highlights the unusual weigh-in result for Fury. The reports present the weight comparison as a notable pre-fight development, without detailing any other specific injury or training claims beyond Fury’s comments about his condition.
