Fury slightly heavier than Klitschko ahead of title bout (The Associated Press)

Tyson Fury’s respectful demeanor at the weigh-in for his much-anticipated heavyweight bout against Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday suggested he was now concentrating solely on the task at hand. After a buildup dominated by humor – Fury dressed up as Batman, sung to Klitschko, and complimented him on his scent, while also making wild boasts of ending his rival’s long heavyweight reign – the British fighter stuck to the script on Friday, maintaining his silence during the obligatory staredown that ended with a handshake. Fury will hold a slight weight advantage when he takes on Klitschko for his WBA, IBF and minor WBO and IBO belts, at a 55,000-seat soccer stadium in Duesseldorf.
