Fury Weighs Less for Makhmudov Bout Than in Usyk Rematch

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped onto the scales ahead of their highly anticipated heavyweight clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday. 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 intense scrutiny. Fury tipped the scales at 267.9lbs, a decrease from the 281lbs he weighed for his Usyk rematch, albeit with clothes on. Makhmudov, a seasoned contender with a formidable knockout ratio, looked imposing at 264.9lbs. Fury acknowledged the challenges of training at an advanced age, saying, 'It gets a little bit harder each time in camp... still got plenty in the tank.' He emphasized his priority is to defeat Makhmudov and then target the current belt holders. Makhmudov expressed his readiness, stating, '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. Richard Riakporhe and Jeamie 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 was 246.14lbs.
