TYSON FURY will be over a stone heavier for his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder than he was in their rematch, his coach Sugarhill Steward has revealed.
The Wythenshawe warrior will renew his rivalry with the American in Las Vegas in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Fury, 33, revealed his plan to weigh a whopping 300lbs for the fight at a press conference in June.
But according to Sugarhill, the ‘crazy’ Gypsy King will tip the scales at 290lbs on Friday.
He told Vegas Insider: “It’s not going to be 300 pounds, it’s probably going to be like 290 or something but not 300 exactly.
“Heavier than last time by 20 pounds or so, why not?
“He’s training with that weight, he’s built up. It’s not like he’s just putting on fat, it’s building up muscles.
“The bigger the better, the heavier the stronger.”

WBC king Fury produced a sensational performance in his rematch with Wilder 19 months ago, stopping the American in seven rounds.
And the lineal heavyweight champ plans on turning in an even better display third time around.
Fury said: “I gave my game plan away the first time because he wasn’t good enough to do anything about it.
“And I’ll do the same thing this time because he’s not good enough to do anything about it.
“Deontay Wilder is a one-trick pony. He’s got one-punch power, we all know that – great.
“But what I’m going to do to Deontay Wilder this time is I’m going to run him over as if I’m an 18-wheeler and he’s a human being.
“I guarantee he does not go past where he did before [the seventh round].
It’s probably going to be like 290 or something but not 300 exactly.
Sugarhill Steward on Tyson Fury’s weight for the Deontay Wilder trilogy fight
“Because before, I only had five or six weeks of practicing what I’m going to do to him.
“This time, I’ve had 18 months of practicing what I’m going to do to him.
“So I anticipate it’s going to be like an 18-wheeler running over somebody, and that’s what you’re gonna see.
“I’m building my weight up, trying to get up to 300lbs for this fight.
“Because I’m looking for a big knockout straight away.”
Wilder, 35, is hell-bent on avenging his first professional loss in devastating fashion, saying: “My mind is very violent.
“We built a whole facility to commit a legal homicide and that’s just what it is, my mind is very violent at this time.
“I can’t wait, when you’re contemplating and pre-meditating about harming a man and you see that person, what you’ve been thinking and feeling will come out.
“The only thing about it is, at that point in time, I have to wait until I get in the ring to really release because I can’t do it on the outside, it’d defeat the purpose.
“The baby’s got to eat, but when I do get in the ring, this is what I love about it, I’m able to release everything I’ve been feeling, everything I’ve been thinking, and get paid to do it.”
