-

stone lighter than he did for his last fight against Deontay Wilder – and Whyte 18st 1lb 4oz.

After stepping on the scales yesterday at Wembley’s BoxPark, WBC heavyweigh­t champ Fury roared: “I’m so happy to be back here fighting and you all made it happen. Respect to Dillian Whyte and his team, they’re real profession­al and respectful men.

“And for that, we’re going to put on a f ****** war.

“I wanted it to be a great camp where I enjoyed every minute of it and take it all in and where better to do it than Wembley Stadium against Dillian Whyte?

“One of my old training partners, who’s made it big time. I’m happy for him, we’ve both made millions, we can’t believe it!”

Whyte is six pounds heavier than he was for his rematch win over Alexander Povetkin and said: “I respect him and he respects me, but we’re ready to do battle.

“Me and Tyson are cool. We’ve always been cool, but I’m ready for f ****** war. I’m ready to go, he’s ready to go.”
