A leather-jacket wearing Tyson Fury weighed in 20 kilograms heavier than Oleksandr Usyk ahead of their heavyweight rematch as both fighters remained fully clothed on the scales.

Fury was a career-heaviest at 127 kilograms, while tracksuit-wearing Usyk weighed 102.5 kg.

A staredown of unprecedented duration the day before had ramped up anticipation ahead of the heavyweight rivals' final pre-fight collision.

A vocal contingent of Fury fans had made their way to the weigh-in as a substantial crowd gathered close together at the open-air venue.

Chants for the former champion were belted out, but Fury did not allow himself a smile, folding his arms and nodding to his supporters.

They chose against trying to repeat the previous day's gargantuan staredown.

After a brief face-off, Fury left the stage without addressing the crowd. Reportedly his only word was "war".

That perhaps is all that needed to be said.

The fight program starts at 5am tomorrow.
