Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder come in at career-high weight; have heated staredown

LAS VEGAS — Would Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder be able to keep it cordial during Friday's weigh-ins?

While there wasn't pushing and shoving, Fury and Wilder got close enough to each other to have a heated war of words after they tipped the scales to make their lineal and WBC heavyweight title fight official at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The former WBC titlist stepped on the scale first and came in at a career-high 238 pounds. The champion was next and also weighed a career-high, weighing 277 pounds. 

Fury and Wilder were screaming at one another while the other was conducting interviews on the stage. After that, they faced off, but they were kept at a distance with police and security in the way, so things didn't escalate any further. Words were exchanged, and Wilder's family and friends on the floor were screaming obscenities at Fury. The Brit wasn't concerned with that nor the fact Wilder came in heavier than expected.

“It means total obliteration of a dosser! Total annihilation, that’s what it means to me,” Fury said.

There is a reason why the "Bronze Bomber" came in heavy.

“The weight just came on. I wanted to look sexy and feel sexy. I’m bench pressing a little over 350,” Wilder said. “There won’t be no rushing me and putting his weight on me and things like that.”

Here is what happened at the Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder 3 weigh-ins.
