OUTLANDER actor Sam Heughan was left wowed by the size of Tyson Fury’s fists after meeting the recently crowned heavyweight world champion in Las Vegas.
Fight fan Heughan, 39, travelled out to the States to witness the Gypsy King’s seven-round demolition of Deontay Wilder.

Bumping into the champ at the afterparty, he posted a photo of the pair together on social media.
Heughan captioned the pic: “Wow! What an honour meeting the heavy weight champ after his terrific win in Vegas! Gracious and charming. Legend.
“Size of his fists!”
Like Heughan, fans quickly realised just how massive Fury’s fist appears in the photo – no doubt aided slightly by the perspective as it hovered close to the camera.
Twitter user Leanne wrote: “Wow it takes a pretty big guy to make you look small.”
One fan of the actor commented: “Just how tall is this guy????? His fists look like baseball mitts.”
Another added: “Never thought I’d say this but this guy makes you look small. His fists looks twice the size of yours.”
Fury, 31, had conquered the previously unbeaten WBC title holder Wilder just hours before the image was taken.

On Tuesday, the Gypsy King touched back down in Manchester to a huge crowd of fans and photographers.
Many expect him to return to the States to face Wilder, who has said he will activate the rematch clause and complete a trilogy of clashes against the American.
That fight might not take place until October however with Fury’s promoter Bob Arum stressing “there’s no hurry” after their Vegas epic on the weekend.
