Fury Weighs In Lighter for Makhmudov Showdown

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped onto the scales ahead of their highly anticipated heavyweight bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This marks Fury's return to the ring after his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, following a brief retirement. Now, at 37, Fury's conditioning and form are under scrutiny. He tipped the scales at 267.9lbs, a notable decrease from the 281lbs he weighed for his Usyk rematch, albeit while dressed. Fury expressed that training camp has become increasingly challenging with age, saying, 'It gets a little bit harder each time... Getting older, more injury prone, Father Time waits for nobody.' He remains optimistic, stating, 'I've got plenty in the tank.' Fury's priority is to defeat Makhmudov, with his sights set on reclaiming the belts. Makhmudov, a seasoned contender with a high knockout ratio, appeared formidable at 264.9lbs. He expressed his readiness, saying, 'I'm ready to go, I'm ready to make my story happen.' In other weigh-ins, Conor Benn came in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight against Regis Prograis, who weighed 148.1lbs. Benn is excited to face an opponent of similar size, while Prograis believes his experience makes him the better fighter. Richard Riakporhe and Jeamie Tshikeva also weighed in for their British heavyweight title fight, at 234.12lbs and 262.7lbs, respectively. Frazer Clarke, seeking a comeback win, weighed in at 259.12lbs against Justis Huni, who was 246.14lbs.
