Tyson Fury weighed in 26lbs lighter than former world title challenger Mariusz Wach ahead of Friday’s heavyweight showdown in Pattaya, Thailand.
Fury scaled 265lbs, having clocked in at 267.9lbs before outpointing Arslanbek Makhmudov last time out in April, but Polish opponent Wach came in at 291.4lbs – 17lbs heavier than his last fight in March.
It is only the fourth time in 39 fights where Fury has been leaner than his opponent, most recently occurring in his first bout against domestic rival Derek Chisora 15 years ago.
“I’m Mr Slim now,” said Fury after a lighthearted staredown with Wach, with the pair laughing and joking with each other.
Former two-time world champion Fury added: “I’m getting sharper, fitter and stronger by the day.
“I’m not banking on any fight happening that might not happen.
I want to keep busy, I’m a fighter.
This year is the year of Tyson Fury staying busy.
Whatever happens, I’m just going to stay busy throughout the year now.
I’ve had the one fight in two years, I want to box his head off.
If it goes a little bit sooner than that then happy days.
This is a real fighting man – he’s fought everybody over the last two decades.
I’ve got to be switched on and take nobody as an easy touch.”
