Fury Weighs In 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 2024, following a brief retirement. Now, at 37, Fury's condition and form are under close scrutiny. He tipped the scales at 267.9lbs, down from the 281lbs he weighed for his Usyk rematch. Fury acknowledged the challenges of training, saying, "It gets a little bit harder each time... Getting older, more injury prone, Father Time waits for nobody." He expressed his priority is to defeat Makhmudov, adding, "I was undefeated for 17 years... I took it for granted, I get two losses in a row and I'm not the hunted but the hunter again." Makhmudov, a seasoned contender with a knockout ratio of over 90%, weighed in at 264.9lbs. He stated, "I'm ready to go, I can't wait to make my story happen, make my dream happen... It's my dream, my time." In other weigh-ins, Conor Benn came in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight against Regis Prograis, who weighed 148.1lbs. Benn noted, "I've been putting middleweights over in the gym. I'm excited to be fighting somebody my own size for once." Prograis countered, "I think it comes down to levels, I'm a two-time world champion... I don't take anything away from Conor Benn, but I do think I'm the better fighter." Richard Riakporhe and Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva also weighed in for their British heavyweight title fight, at 234.12lbs and 262.7lbs respectively. Frazer Clarke, seeking a comeback win, weighed 259.12lbs for his bout against Justis Huni, who came in at 246.14lbs.
