Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Showdown

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 fight since his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, following a brief retirement. At 37, Fury's condition and form will be under close scrutiny. He tipped the scales at 267.9lbs, a decrease from the 281lbs he weighed for his Usyk rematch, albeit with clothes on. Fury expressed that training has become more challenging with age, saying, 'It gets a little bit harder each time in camp... still got plenty in the tank.' His priority is to defeat Makhmudov, then set his sights on reclaiming the belts. Makhmudov, a seasoned contender with a knockout ratio of over 90%, weighed in at 264.9lbs and exuded confidence, stating, '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 eager to prove himself at this weight, while Prograis believes his experience gives him the edge. Richard Riakporhe and Jeamie Tshikeva also weighed in for their British heavyweight title fight, with Riakporhe at 234.12lbs and Tshikeva at 262.7lbs. Frazer Clarke, seeking a comeback win, weighed in at 259.12lbs against Justis Huni, who was at 246.14lbs.
