The English boxer was 277.5 pounds when he faced the ex-UFC heavyweight champ, as he triumphed with a scandalous split-decision win in a non-title fight. Tyson’s 262 pounds are his lowest since he beat Otto Wall during the fall in 2019 at 254 pounds.

His Ukrainian opponent, however, weighed a career-high 233.5 pounds. Usyk’s previous high was 221.5 pounds when he beat Anthony Joshua during the summer of 2022.

“I’m prepared to rock and roll,” revealed Tyson (34-0-1, 24 KOs). “Fireworks on Saturday. I will destroy him on the ring tomorrow. I’m heading for his heart. That’s what I’m prepared to do. F— his titles. I will rip his f—ing heart.”
