Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Fight

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped onto the scales ahead of their highly anticipated heavyweight clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This marks Fury's first bout 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. In a recent interview with Netflix, Fury acknowledged the challenges of training, saying, 'It gets a little bit harder each time... Getting older, more injury prone, Father Time waits for nobody.' He emphasized his priority is to defeat Makhmudov, stating, 'I've got loads of Easter eggs in the fridge ready for me. Whoever has these belts, I want them back.' Makhmudov, a seasoned heavyweight contender with a knockout ratio of over 90%, looked formidable at 264.9lbs. He expressed his eagerness, saying, 'I'm ready to go, I can't wait to make my story happen, make my dream happen.' In other weigh-ins, Conor Benn came in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight against Regis Prograis, who weighed 148.1lbs. Benn stated, 'I definitely could have made 147... I've been putting middleweights over in the gym. I'm excited to be fighting somebody my own size for once.' Prograis, a two-time world champion, believes he's the better fighter, saying, 'I think it comes down to levels... I don't take anything away from Conor Benn, but I do think I'm the better fighter.' Richard Riakporhe weighed in at 234.12lbs for his British heavyweight title fight against Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva, who was 262.7lbs. Frazer Clarke, seeking a comeback win, weighed 259.12lbs for his fight against Justis Huni, who was 246.14lbs. Clarke expressed his excitement, saying, 'I'm not feeling pressure, I'm excited... People have short memories, I'm a good fighter and I'll show that Saturday.'
