Watch as Tyson Fury accidentally lifts up his top to reveal heavier frame at Deontay Wilder weigh-in


TYSON FURY gave boxing fans a brief glimpse of his heavier physique at his weigh-in ahead of the Deontay Wilder rematch.

The Gypsy King took to the scales wearing a black baggy vest – but that lifted up when he took a jumper off.

Fury weighed in at 19st 7lbs, just 3lbs shy of the career heaviest he hit for his 2018 comeback fight against Sefer Seferi.

But the 31-year-old wasn’t too keen to show off his body transformation as he kept covered up.

This was in stark contrast to opponent Deontay Wilder however, who flexed his pecs on the scales.

The American shocked the Fury-supporting crowd by coming in at a career heaviest of 16st 7lbs.

The champ was just 15st 2lbs when he very almost KO’ed Fury in their Los Angeles original.

The partisan crowd booed mercilessly when Wilder’s arrival was shown on the big screen.

Fury’s entrance, complete with camouflage jumper, was seen as a moment of triumph for the visiting horde.

The Gypsy King had promised his legion of travelling fans he would come in big and beautiful and he did not disappoint the raucous crowd.

Fury’s rapid size 14 feet were able to move freely in his September points win over Otto Wallin, when he weighed 18st 2lbs.

But his father John was furious after the bloody decision win, with a scathing verbal assault on then-trainer Ben Davison likely contributing to his exit two months ago.

Former fighter John demanded his son return to close to the 19st mark but he came in even bigger than expected.
