No. He spent the last two years, or so, getting up to heavyweight and then having to maintain that for a prolonged period, due to a deferred rematch at that weight level.
Tony only weighed 15 stones (210 lbs) for his most recent fight, so it's not as if he has to "do a Fury" and drop 100 lbs or so.
At the recent Whyte v Parker match, he was commentating and he looked to be somewhere between 210 and 220. If it was going to be a problem, then I am certain his team would be pushing for the fight to be in December, or even early 2019 - but they are pushing for a November 10 date, which makes me sure that weight is not going to be an issue.
after all that you just typed - it does pay to stay in decent shape. I'm not saying it will be hard to shift the weight but the point remains.
Why it pays to stay in decent shape all year around
His training camp will be dropping weight having spent over a year at heavyweight.
He's also going to see there's a differn de between a washed up injured Haye and a prime Usyk. Cleverley and Stevenson outboxed him and usyk is a much better boxer than those guys

I think Usyk comprehensively outboxes him. Stranger things have happened than Bellew KO'ing him but I can't see it.
