Tommy Fury avoided a whopping fine by making weight for his massive fight against KSI on Saturday.

Tommy faces KSI on a blockbuster bill that also includes a massive showdown between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis.

The Manchester clash takes place at 183lbs, with 'Big' John Fury expressing his anger over the official weigh-ins, which took place between a window of 10am and 1pm on Friday.

Danis claimed Paul 'missed weight' as the MMA star took to social media to rant about his opponent's 'special treatment'.

John also took exception to the weigh in as he can be seen telling an official in a video: "Get the f**king scales sorted. What the f**k is this?"

The PBA released a statement amid the claims, stating "all boxers weighed in" and that there were "no rules breached".

Following his victory over Jake Paul, Tommy revealed that he had ballooned to 224lbs after bingeing on junk food outside of training camp.

Based on that weight, he would have needed to shed 41lbs in order to hit the 183lbs mark to fight KSI.

But the 24-year-old made no mistake as he tipped the scales at 182.6lbs.

However, it's claimed that had he not made weight, he would have been fined a staggering 20 percent of his purse for every extra pound.

Fortunately for Fury, he came in under the weight limit for his contest as he looks to remain unbeaten.
