Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Bout

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped onto the scales ahead of their highly anticipated heavyweight clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This marks Fury's first fight since his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, following a brief retirement. Now, at 37, his conditioning and form will be under close scrutiny. Fury tipped the scales at 267.9lbs, a decrease from the 281lbs he weighed for his Usyk rematch, albeit with clothes on. Fury expressed that training camp gets tougher with age, saying, "It gets a little bit harder each time... Father Time waits for nobody." He prioritizes beating Makhmudov, with the goal of reclaiming his belts. Makhmudov, a seasoned contender with two losses and a high knockout ratio, appeared formidable at 264.9lbs. He's eager to make his story happen, drawing inspiration from Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. In other weigh-ins, Conor Benn came in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight against Regis Prograis, who weighed 148.1lbs. Benn aims to prove himself against more experienced opponents. Prograis, a two-time world champion, believes he's the better fighter. Richard Riakporhe and Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva also weighed in for their British heavyweight title fight, with Riakporhe at 234.12lbs and Tshikeva at 262.7lbs. Frazer Clarke, seeking a comeback win, weighed in at 259.12lbs against Justis Huni, who was at 246.14lbs.
