Fury Tips Scales Lighter for Makhmudov Showdown

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 bout since his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in late 2024, following a brief retirement. Now, at 37, his conditioning and form are under scrutiny. Fury weighed in at 267.9lbs, down from the 281lbs he recorded for his Usyk rematch, albeit with clothes on. Makhmudov, a seasoned contender with a formidable knockout ratio, tipped the scales at 264.9lbs. Fury expressed his determination, stating, 'My priority is to beat this guy, and then I've got another big man lined up next.' Makhmudov, meanwhile, is ready to make his dream a reality, saying, 'I'm round for 12 or 20 rounds, no problem.' The event also features Conor Benn, who weighed in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight bout against Regis Prograis, who came in at 148.1lbs. Benn is eager to prove himself, while Prograis believes he is the better fighter. Other notable weigh-ins include Richard Riakporhe at 234.12lbs for his British heavyweight title fight against Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva, who weighed 262.7lbs, and Frazer Clarke at 259.12lbs for his bout against Justis Huni, who tipped the scales at 246.14lbs.
