But he had still dropped 15 pounds since his last bout in October.

And Usyk packed on almost a stone since he won last won in August, coming in at a career heaviest.

The two men came to blows when they finally squared off against each other after Fury had refused to look at Usyk during yesterday’s press conference.

They went head-to-head for seconds before shoving each other, forcing minders and security to quickly step in.

Ice cool Usyk told Fury: “Don’t be afraid. 

“I won’t leave you alone. This is my plan.” 

In October when he scraped by boxing debutant Francis Ngannou, Fury was a poorly prepared 19st 11lbs.

It’s no surprise he was flat as he was 26lbs heavier eight weeks out, up towards 22st.

But he was way too light for the 2019 Otto Wallin bloodbath when he overtrained down to 18st 2lbs.

After Usyk completed the 14st 4lbs cruiserweight division in 2018, he targeted 16st as his ideal heavyweight heft.

But 15st 11lbs has been perfect for him, with two wins over Anthony Joshua and another over Dubois.
