Fury Tips the Scales Lighter for Makhmudov Bout

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 are under close scrutiny. Fury weighed in at 267.9lbs, a decrease from the 281lbs he weighed for his Usyk rematch, albeit with clothes on. Makhmudov, a seasoned contender with a knockout ratio of over 90%, looked formidable at 264.9lbs. Fury shared his thoughts, 'It gets tougher with each camp, but I still have plenty to give. My priority is to beat Makhmudov, then I'm after the belts.' Makhmudov expressed his readiness, 'I'm ready to make my story happen, my dream happen.' The event also features Conor Benn, who weighed in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight against Regis Prograis, who came in at 148.1lbs. Benn stated, 'I've been putting in work with middleweights, I'm excited to face someone my own size.' Prograis countered, 'I think it comes down to levels, I'm a two-time world champion.' Other notable weigh-ins included Richard Riakporhe at 234.12lbs and Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva at 262.7lbs for the British heavyweight title, and Frazer Clarke at 259.12lbs against Justis Huni at 246.14lbs.
