Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will this evening weigh-in ahead of their heavyweight world title fight on Saturday night.
The weigh-ins mark the final event before the pair finally climb into the ring to fight for the WBC world title. Tensions are already running high following an explosive final press conference, ahead of what promises to be a dramatic evening as the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.

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.
