And The Gypsy King SNUBBED a final fiery face off with the unified heavyweight king after they tipped the scales for tomorrow's night's eagerly-anticipated Saudi showdown.
Fury, who looked to be significantly heavier in recent training snaps, took to the scales first after a spectacular walk to the scales.
The former WBC king opted not to reveal his pre-fight physique as he tipped the scales, which recorded him weighing a staggering 20 STONE (281lbs).
His career-heaviest weight, however, was cleary the result of the SEVERAL LAYERS of clothing he was wearing.
Former undisupted king Usyk soon followed, tipping the scale at just over 16 stone (226lbs).

Fury aimed several expletives at the defending champion before vowing to avenge his sole defeat in devastating fashion.
He said: "I'm going to dish out a whole lot of pain.
"I'm going to put this f***er in the hurt locker, for sure.
"I've got nothing to say other than there's going to be a whole load of hurt and pain in this fight, you watch.
"That's all I've got to say. The talking's been done.
"The first fight I talked, I joked, all my career. This fight I'm serious.
"I'm going to do some f***ing damage."
