Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Fight

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped on the scales ahead of their highly anticipated heavyweight bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This marks Fury's first fight since his rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024. After a brief retirement, the 37-year-old Fury is returning to the ring, with his condition and form under close scrutiny. He tipped the scales at 267.9lbs, a decrease from the 281lbs he weighed for his Usyk rematch, albeit with clothes on. Fury acknowledged the challenges of training at an advanced 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." He emphasized his priority is to defeat Makhmudov, adding, "My priority is to beat this fella, I've got loads of Easter eggs in the fridge ready for me. Whoever has these belts, I want them back." Makhmudov, a seasoned contender with two losses and a high knockout ratio, looked formidable at 264.9lbs. He expressed his readiness, stating, "I'm ready to go, I can't wait to make my story happen, make my dream happen."
