Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Showdown

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped onto the scales 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, following a brief retirement. Now, at 37, his conditioning and form will be under close 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 heavyweight contender with a knockout ratio of over 90%, looked formidable at 264.9lbs. Fury expressed that 'it gets a little bit harder each time in camp' due to his age and propensity for injuries, but remains confident, stating 'I've got plenty in the tank.' He prioritizes beating Makhmudov and then targeting the belt holders. Makhmudov, known for his early finishes, is ready to make his story happen, drawing inspiration from his uncle who likened him to Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. In other weigh-ins, Conor Benn came in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight against Regis Prograis, who weighed 148.1lbs, while Richard Riakporhe and Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva prepares for their British heavyweight title fight, weighing 234.12lbs and 262.7lbs respectively.
