I also think that male viera is most likely to look very close to the concept art.

I want to do some speculation here.

So according to Mugear's translation of what Matsuno said, male viera have "boxer's physique". Matsuno referenced Rikiishi from Ashita no Joe.

The phrase inside the parenthesis says "You know that time when Rikiishi did that thing in Ashita no Joe?" with a bit of Japanese word-play involved.
What we know from Rikiishi is:
height: 5'11"
weight: 53kg / 116-117 lbs

It's safe to assume male viera will be very light weight. Toned, yes, but slim and light weight.

From the concept art, we can see that the dev team were trying to see what body type would be suitable for male viera.
They tried drawing a concept for a light weight male viera:


This one is a little bit of a heavier weight:

You can tell this one is a heavier weight because this one is more bulky with bigger biceps.

Because of Matsuno's description, I believe we will be getting the light weight versions of viera. (The first two I had posted)
Matsuno has worked on FFXII and other FF titles, and he was also involved with the ivalice raid in ffxiv, correct? I believe Matsuno's description of male viera holds a lot of weight, and who knows, he may even have the final say on their design.
