Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Fight

Tyson Fury stepped onto the scales ahead of his highly anticipated heavyweight bout against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, marking his first fight since his rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024. Fury, now 37, weighed in at 267.9lbs, a notable decrease from the 281lbs he weighed for his Usyk rematch, albeit with clothes on. Fury acknowledged the challenges that come with aging, stating, "It gets a little bit harder each time in camp... Getting older, more injury prone, Father Time waits for nobody." Despite this, he expressed confidence, saying, "I've still got plenty in the tank. After another four or five retirements, I should be good." Makhmudov, a seasoned heavyweight contender with a knockout ratio of over 90%, looked formidable as he weighed in at 264.9lbs. He spoke modestly, saying, "I'm ready to go, I'm ready to make my story happen, make my dream happen. It's my dream, my time." In other weigh-ins, Conor Benn came in under the 150lb catchweight limit at 149.5lbs for his first fight since moving back down from middleweight, while his opponent Regis Prograis weighed in slightly lighter at 148.1lbs. Richard Riakporhe hit the scales at 234.12lbs ahead of his British heavyweight title fight, and Frazer Clarke weighed in at 259.12lbs as he takes on Australian Justis Huni.
