Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Showdown

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped onto the scales ahead of their highly anticipated heavyweight bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This marks Fury's first fight since his rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk in late 2024, following a brief retirement. At 37 years old, 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 gets tougher with age, saying, 'It gets a little bit harder each time in camp... Still got plenty in the tank.' He emphasized his priority is to defeat Makhmudov, then target the current belt holders. Makhmudov, a seasoned heavyweight contender with a high knockout ratio, looked formidable at 264.9lbs and stated, 'I'm ready to go, I'm ready to make my story happen, my dream happen.' Meanwhile, Conor Benn weighed in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight against Regis Prograis, who came in at 148.1lbs. Benn is excited to fight someone his own size, while Prograis believes he's the better fighter. Other notable weigh-ins included Richard Riakporhe at 234.12lbs for his British heavyweight title fight against Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva, and Frazer Clarke at 259.12lbs as he takes on Justis Huni.
