Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Clash Than in Previous Usyk Rematch

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped onto the scales ahead of their highly anticipated heavyweight bout 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 years old, his physical condition and form are under close scrutiny. Fury tipped the scales at 267.9lbs, a decrease from the 281lbs he weighed during his rematch against Usyk, albeit while dressed. In an interview with Netflix, Fury acknowledged the challenges of training, saying, 'It gets a bit tougher each time. As you get older, you become more prone to injuries, and Father Time waits for no one.' Fury expressed his determination to defeat Makhmudov, stating, 'My priority is to beat this guy, and then I've got my sights set on the other big man.' Makhmudov, a seasoned heavyweight contender with a knockout ratio of over 90%, weighed in at 264.9lbs. He appeared formidable and expressed his readiness, saying, 'I'm ready to go; I'm eager to make my story happen and fulfill my dream.' 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 against Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva, who weighed 262.7lbs. Frazer Clarke, seeking a comeback win, weighed in at 259.12lbs for his fight against Australian Justis Huni, who was the lighter of the two at 246.14lbs.
