Tyson Fury will enter the ring lighter than his opponent for the first time in 15 years. The British boxer's upcoming fight takes place in Thailand against a 46-year-old Polish fighter, whose name has not been officially confirmed yet. At the pre-fight weigh-in, Fury weighed 120.2 kg, while his opponent tipped the scales at 132.2 kg – 12 kg heavier. The Pole's weight is 7.7 kg more than it was in his previous fight in March.

The last time Fury was lighter than his opponent was in the first of three bouts against fellow Briton Dereck Chisora. In 39 career fights, Fury has been lighter than his opponent only four times. Fury's professional boxing record stands at 35 wins, two losses, and one draw, while his opponent has 39 wins and 13 losses, having lost three of his last four fights.

The fight will not be broadcast live, but Fury has stated that clips of the bout will be available on his reality show.
