Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Clash

Tyson Fury stepped onto the scales alongside Arslanbek Makhmudov ahead of their highly anticipated heavyweight bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This marks Fury's first fight since his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024. Fury, now 37, weighed in at 267.9lbs, a noticeable decrease from the 281lbs he weighed for his Usyk rematch. Fury expressed that training gets more challenging with age, saying, "It gets a little bit harder each time in camp. Getting older, more injury prone, Father Time waits for nobody, it gets a little bit more difficult every time, but still got plenty in the tank." Makhmudov, a seasoned contender with a high knockout ratio, appeared formidable at 264.9lbs. He stated, "I'm ready to go, I can't wait to make my story happen, make my dream happen." In other weigh-ins, Conor Benn came in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight against Regis Prograis, who weighed 148.1lbs. Benn is excited to face an opponent of similar size, saying, "I've been putting middleweights over in the gym. I'm excited to be fighting somebody my own size for once." Prograis, a two-time world champion, believes he has the upper hand, stating, "I think it comes down to levels, I'm a two-time world champion, I've been the best in the world. 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, with Riakporhe at 234.12lbs and Tshikeva at 262.7lbs. Frazer Clarke, seeking a comeback win, weighed in at 259.12lbs for his bout against Justis Huni, who came in at 246.14lbs.
