DEONTAY WILDER is certainly stronger than his fight with Tyson Fury.
The Bronze Bomber and the Brit first met in December 2018, at the Staples Center, Los Angeles. This was the location for one of the most talked-about heavyweight fights in recent times.
Deontay Wilder was last night weighed in at 238lbs
Wilder, the WBC champion defense, weighed 218.5lbs on the previous night - an impressive THREEstone (44lbs lighter than Fury).
Wilder felt Fury's weight in their first fight and decided to gain weight for the rematch last February.
The Olympic bronze medallist weighed in at 231lbs just before his reign as WBC Heavyweight Champion came to an abrupt halt.
He was unable to cope with Fury's size and constant pressure, who had himself weighed in at 273lbs.
Wilder, clearly frustrated by Fury’s strength and weight advantages has been working hard to gain more size over the past 19 months.
In an effort to gain more muscle mass, the 35-year old put in session after session of intense strength and conditioning training.

It was obvious that the Olympian had indeed gotten stronger when he stepped onto the scales on Friday night.
He weighed in at 238lbs just seconds after taking to the scale.
His slender muscles were even more evident when he did a double-biceps pose.
One boxing fan responded quickly with the following: "Wilder going to early ko. If he doesn't, he'll be f ****d in 3 rounds.
Another stated that "Wilder must bulk up." This isn't bodybuilding. He was already way too trim before. Both are ready."
Another said, "Wilder looks enormous."
David Haye, a former WBA heavyweight champion, said about Wilder's frame that Wilder looked "great." He looked great."
Defeat to Fury, a 277 lb man, was Wilder's first professional victory.
The American is determined to exact his revenge in brutal fashion.
He stated, "I see him beating him up and knocking him out."
"I saw a lot in the first fight, but I didn’t execute my game plan.
"This is a completely different feeling. It's not just the environment, but the energy.
"I look forward to giving a great show."
