Unbeaten challenger Hughie Fury and WBO heavyweight champ Joseph Parker got involved in a shoving match at today’s weigh in for their title bout at the Manchester Arena in the north of England on Saturday night.
Fury weighed in at 16st 10lbs, while the champion, Parker, scaled a heavier 17st 7lbs. Fury livened up the proceedings a bit at the face off by lashing out at his New Zealand based opponent.
Hughie’s cousin and former world heavyweight champ Tyson Fury was there to support him as Hughie pushed Parker, leaving the security teams to separate the pair.
Both Parker, 23-0 and Fury, 20-0, are unbeaten.
