A routine weigh in for Frank Warrens Belfast show featuring Carl Frampton and Tyson Fury, turned into a media frenzy when proceedings were interrupted by an uninvited appearance from WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.. Moments after Fury’s weigh in, the colourful Wilder reached out to shake the hand of John Fury before screaming ‘Bombzquad’ at the former heavyweight journeyman.. Fury Sr responded by telling Wilder to ‘shut up’ before Deontay shouted “Make sure you win your fight baby, cause I’m coming,” followed by “Its all over..”. Infuriating John Fury, who had to be restrained by security.. Wilder found the incident rather entertaining and continued to snap photos with fans.. Later Fury and Wilder, separated by hoards of fans exchanged jibes all in the taste of hyping a future title fight..
Fury has to take care of Francesco Pianeta this weekend regardless, if any of the future plans are to remain in place..
Both heavyweights weighed in with Tyson Fury tipping the scales at 254.5lbs, whilst Francesco Pianeta weighed slightly heavier at 258lbs.
