Tyson Fury will enter the ring lighter than his opponent for only the fourth time in his professional boxing career when he faces Mariusz Wach in Pattaya, Thailand, on Friday. Fury, 37, weighed in at 18 stone 13 pounds (120 kg), while the 46-year-old Wach tipped the scales at 20 stone 11 pounds (132 kg).
This marks the first time Fury has been lighter than his opponent in 15 years. The previous instances in his 17-year, 38-fight career include his first bout against Derek Chisora in 2011, as well as fights against John McDermott and Daniil Peretyatko.
The heavyweight bout is scheduled to take place in front of an estimated 1,500 spectators and will not be broadcast by television. Fury expressed his satisfaction with his current physical condition, stating, "I'm Mr Slim now. I'm delighted to be here and there are fans here from all over the world."
