The trash talk has been flowing in the months since the shock Saudi showdown was finally.
But the duo needed to clear one final hurdle to finalise their dust-up – making weight.
MMA man mountain Ngannou – who left the UFC in January – took to the Saudi scales first.
And the Cameroonian clubber came in at a whopping 272lbs – which is equal to 19 stone six, pounds.
Brit behemoth Fury – who cut a jovial and happy figure all week – soon followed.
And the less-than-aesthetic WBC heavyweight champion tipped the scales at 277.7lbs.
The face-off was a tasty one as Fury tried to push his head into Ngannou’s.
He then proceeded to push him with his belly.
Ngannou wasn’t having any of it, buffeting him back with his chiselled frame.
