Fury, 31, weighed in at 18.5st ahead of his WWE debut. Strowman, 36, hit the scales at a huge 27.5st.
Both men were strangely allowed to wear full clothing for the weigh-in.
Speaking after coming off the scales, Fury, who was the victim of a sneak attack from Strowman in the build-up, said: “I’m good, I’m 100 per cent, I never make excuses.
“I’ll be ready for the night, don’t worry about that.
“I’m 30-0 as a professional, it’s going to be a good fight, I’m looking forward to it
“Braun is the biggest man I’ve ever faced.
“It’s good to fight someone who is looking at me eye-to-eye.
“We’re going to put on a spectacle for the fans.”
FURY ONCE WEIGHED MORE THAN STROWMAN
Fury has put on a stone for his wrestling match since his last boxing fight - a scrappy win against gritty Otto Wallin.
He came in for that at 17.5st.
Incredibly during the Gypsy King's time out of sport when he was dealing with depression and alcohol issues, he weighed MORE than Strowman does now.
He was also gorging on pizza, kebabs and packs of chocolate.
