Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury is the match-up all fight fans want to see, with the former heavyweight king set to make his anticipated return. And while gatecrashing the weigh-in at Monte Carlo, he revealed his current weight.
Fury's been embroiled in controversy ever since he sensationally dethroned Wladimir Klitschko. He's got an alleged failed drug test looming over his head, as he plots his return to the ring.
