Friday’s weigh-in saw Fury come in at a huge 273lbs ahead of this weekend’s WBC heavyweight title showdown.
Wilder also packed on the pounds, hitting the scales at 231lbs – the heaviest of his professional career.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission made the decision to scrap a final face-off between the two after sparks flew midweek.
Next time they come face-to-face will be in the ring on Saturday.
Calzaghe - Fury will win on points
Former two-weight world champion Joe Calzaghe believes Tyson Fury will triumph on points tonight... if he 'boxes smart'.
"Tyson Fury is much better technically but Deontay Wilder is always going to be dangerous," he told the Mail. "If he boxes smart for 12 round I fancy Fury to win on points.
"Will he have to get off the floor again? Possibly!"
In a Las Vegas hotel somewhere, Tyson Fury will be in the middle of what I imagine might be a fairly sleepless night.
It's currently half-past-midnight in Nevada, though, so I suspect there won't be too many others tucked up in bed. More likely sat round a roulette table.
Anyway, it's bright and early in the UK and we'll have all the latest build-up throughout the day as we move towards fight night.
Wilder: Fury is nervous
“I said to him he’s nervous. He’s changed his trainers, he’s dipping his hands in gasoline.
"I can’t wait. I told him 24 hours!”
Fury happy with weight
"The weight's not a problem. It's 273 pounds of pure British beef."
