Tyson Fury had the advantage on the scale over Francis Ngannou.

At the weigh-ins for their crossover boxing match Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Fury officially weighed in at 277.7 pounds, about five pounds heavier than Ngannou, who weighed in at 272.2 pounds.

For Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs), this was the same poundage that he brought into his trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder in October 2021; for Ngannou (17-3 MMA, 12 KOs, 4 subs) this is the heaviest he's weighed for a pro bout. When Ngannou competed in UFC, the limit for a non-title heavyweight bout was 266 pounds.

Ngannou makes his pro boxing debut. He is currently signed to PFL, which he joined after parting ways with UFC and vacating that promotion's heavyweight title.

Fury fights for the first time since last December, where he defeated Derek Chisora via 10th-round TKO. He enters Saturday as the reigning WBC heavyweight champion, though his title is not on the line against Ngannou.
