Saturday’s WBC heavyweight title is now official.
The weigh-ins for Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte are complete, and the only thing of note from the main event would be the relative lightness of Fury’s weight.
Unlike in MMA, boxing does not have a heavyweight limit so it’s impossible to miss weight as a heavyweight boxer. Anyway, reigning and undefeated WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury came in at 264.75 lbs, which is several pounds lighter than both the second and third fights he had against Deontay Wilder. As for Whyte, he weighed 253.25 lbs, which is heavier than his two fights with Alexander Povetkin but lighter than his bouts against Oscar Rivas and Joseph Parker.
