Here's a good preview of this evening's weigh-ins from Dec Taylor out in Los Angeles:
Tyson Fury has called for today’s customary weigh-in face-off with Deontay Wilder to be cancelled in order to avoid a repeat of the ugly scenes which marred Wednesday’s final press conference.
Punches appeared to be thrown by members of both teams as the two heavyweights came head-to-head for a photograph in downtown LA as their lengthy and often bad-tempered promotion surged towards its climax.
Even the California State Athletic Commission has threatened to withhold both fighters’ purses if there is any further trouble at Friday’s weigh-in at the Los Angeles Convention Center, which is a short ringwalk away from the Staples Center where the pair will finally collide on Saturday night.
Usually the shirtless fighters would be brought together for one last photo opportunity once they have weighed in but the commission are still yet to decide whether or not to allow it. Now Fury, who will step onto the scales at around 9pm UK time, believes the idea should be binned altogether.
Don't forget the undercard fighters will also all weigh-in today. Let's just hope there are no nasty surprises. Here is my preview of the Brits in action:
