Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Fight

Ahead of their highly anticipated heavyweight bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped onto the scales. This marks Fury's return to the ring after a brief retirement and his first fight since losing to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024. At 37 years old, Fury's conditioning and form will be under close scrutiny. He weighed in at 267.9lbs, a decrease from the 281lbs he weighed, with clothes on, during his Usyk rematch. Makhmudov, a seasoned heavyweight contender with a high knockout ratio, looked formidable at 264.9lbs. Fury acknowledged the challenges of training at an older age, saying, 'It gets a little bit harder each time... Father Time waits for nobody.' He expressed his priority to defeat Makhmudov and regain his title. Makhmudov, on the other hand, has been relatively quiet in the build-up, stating, 'I'm ready to go, I'm ready to make my story happen, make my dream happen.' In other weigh-ins, Conor Benn came in under the 150lb catchweight limit at 149.5lbs for his fight against Regis Prograis, who weighed 148.1lbs. 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 was at 246.14lbs.
