"Look, I’ve never done a public weigh-in, first time. I was 515 about a year-and-a-half ago, two years ago, so let’s see what I weigh now," he said in the clip. "I’ve been working out with DDP-Y. Mr. Diamond Dallas Page has helped me and my buddy Joshua. So, let’s see what I weigh."
The scale said Esch weighed 303.8 pounds.
"Not too bad."
