Tyson Fury absorbed his team's advice to come in bigger and better this time around.

The former two-time Ring heavyweight champion went all in for the occasion. He was fully dressed—complete with leather jacket—and tipped the scales at 281 pounds in a bid to avenge his lone career defeat. Fury was 55 pounds heavier than The Ring, WBA, WBC and WBO king Oleksandr Usyk, who weighed 226 pounds.

Both officially weigh in at the heaviest of their respective careers. It was followed by their briefest stare down between both events, after looking into each other's souls for more than ten minutes at the end of Thursday's final pre-fight press conference.

Their scheduled twelve-round heavyweight championship rematch will take place at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (Saturday, DAZN Pay-Per-View, 11:00 a.m. ET/4:00 p.m. GMT).

Fury weighed 262 pounds for their memorable first fight, his lightest weight since a Sept. 2019 points win over Otto Wallin in Las Vegas. While in supreme condition for his previous clash with Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), there was internal team concern that he was giving away a portion of his massive size advantage.

Ukraine's Usyk was 223 ½ pounds—his heaviest by just 2 ½ pounds at the time—for their memorable May 18 clash at this very venue.

Fury enjoyed an early lead but a dramatic ninth-round knockdown earned by Usyk was not only a momentum shift but the difference on the scorecards in the end. Usyk won by scores of 115-112 and 114-113 on the two cards that overruled the 114-113 tally for Fury.

The incredible feat saw Usyk become a two-division undisputed champion, having previously held The Ring crown and every major sanctioning body belt at cruiserweight. It also marked the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis fully unified the division in 1999.

Usyk has since vacated the IBF belt. He will attempt the third defense of The Ring championship, the WBA and WBO belts, and first of the WBC title he lifted from Fury.

Included in his run were a pair of wins over England’s Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) to win and defend three alphabet titles. Usyk dethroned Joshua, No. 2 at heavyweight, in their Sept. 2021 title fight in North London. The vacant Ring championship was claimed by Usyk in their Aug. 2022 rematch in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Fury will enter the ring as the challenger for the first time since the pandemic.

His last occasion came in his Feb. 2020 rematch with Deontay Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KOs). Fury won the WBC title that, regained The Ring crown and re-established heavyweight champion lineage for the first time since he abdicated the throne in 2016.

Three successful defenses followed of his second act, including an eleventh-round knockout over Wilder in their epic Oct. 2021 trilogy clash. Both fighters hit the deck in the widely regarded 2021 Fight of the Year.

Usyk has excelled at every stage.

The 37-year-old southpaw won a Gold medal in the 2012 Olympics and has conquered cruiserweight and heavyweight as a pro. Usyk dethroned three unbeaten cruiserweight titlists all on the road en route to fully unifying the division. He moved up in 2019 and has won six straight.

Saturday's ring appearance will mark Usyk's first two-fight campaign for the first time as a heavyweight. He fought three times in 2018, the year he fully unified the cruiserweight division.
