STORY: Tyson Fury weighed-in at 260 pounds (118kg) ahead of his controversial appearance in WWE in Saudi Arabia on Saturday (2 November). The heavyweight boxer is fighting WWE star Braun Strowman at the King Saud stadium in the capital Riyadh, on a bill that also includes legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan.

Fury last boxed in September, beating Otto Wallin on points despite being badly cut, and a rematch against current WBC world champion Deontay Wilder is expedited to take place next year.

The first fight between the two men in 2018 ended in a draw. The 'Crown Jewel' event will also see two female wrestlers featuring in a bout, a first for Saudi Arabia, when Lacey Evans takes on Natalie Neidhart, who wrestles under the name 'Natalya'.
