Tyson Fury has fuelled intrigue about his physical condition by insisting that his weight “doesn’t matter” ahead of the world title fight against Deontay Wilder.

The British star weighed in at 19st 7lbs for his rematch victory over Wilder last February, 16.5lbs heavier than for their first fight, which ended in a draw in December 2018.

But Fury has played down the significance of Friday night’s weigh-in ahead of his third WBC heavyweight title fight against Wilder in Las Vegas this weekend
