Tyson Fury is set to weigh his heaviest since mid-2018 in his rematch against rival Deontay Wilder later this month.

The Gypsy King revealed his new 19-stone build as he posed for pictures ahead of the February 22 fight in Las Vegas.

In the caption, Fury claimed that he will weigh a very respectable 270lbs in time for the clash, just under a stone heavier than he was for their first fight, and the heaviest he has been since his 276lbs comeback win over Sefer Seferi in 2018. 

In his last fight with Wilder, Fury was dropped twice, but was still able to score a draw by impressing the ringside judges enough with his abilities.

Since that match-up, Fury has ditched trainer Ben Davison for the nephew of the great Emanuel Steward, Javan "SugarHill" Steward, in the belief that he will be able to help him defeat the unbeaten champion.

"They had to rob a man who had been out of the ring for three years and they still couldn't beat him," Fury said, as per Mirror Online. 

"I'm not coming here for a points decision, I've had too many of them - nine of them - I'm coming here for a knockout. I've had 21 of them and from the heart that's what I'm looking to do.

"This is why I employed SugarHill. If I didn't want a knockout, I wouldn't  have hired a Kronk trainer. If I didn't want a knockout, I'd have kept Ben Davison and working on that herky-jerky style."

Since the change of trainer, Fury has admitted that he's had second thoughts about the decision, but is now confident that he made the right choice.

"To train with someone and feel like an absolute novice is exciting," he said to BT Sport, as per Mirror Online.

"Me and SugarHill have not worked together for a long time and even before I only had a week with the guy.

"Everything is different; I feel like I'm learning stuff again, before we were polishing stuff I did good and it was a winning formula.

"Now we're working on stuff I don't do so well and that's new to me, and that's the challenge.

"I thought if there is anyone who is going to be a good heavyweight trainer it's SugarHill and I believe the switch is a good thing.

"I wasn't so sure at the beginning, you never know what you're going to get with a new trainer and your whole team is separated, but after three weeks together I knew it was going to be a fantastic choice."

It will be interesting to see how Fury's new refreshed physique will help him against Wilder, only time will tell if the effort has been worth it or not.
