Fury Weighs In Lighter for Makhmudov Fight

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped onto the scales prior to their highly anticipated heavyweight bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This marks Fury's first fight since his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, following a brief retirement. At 37 years old, Fury's condition and form are 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 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 confident, stating, "My priority is to beat this fella... I've got loads of Easter eggs in the fridge ready for me. Whoever has these belts, I want them back." Fury aims to reclaim his title, having been undefeated for 17 years before suffering two consecutive losses. Makhmudov, a seasoned heavyweight contender with a knockout ratio of over 90%, weighed in at 264.9lbs. He expressed his readiness, saying, "I'm ready to go, I can't wait to make my story happen, make my dream happen... For this fight, I'm round for 12 or 20 rounds, no problem." 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, saying, "I've been putting middleweights over in the gym. I'm excited to be fighting somebody my own size for once." Prograis believes he has the upper hand, stating, "I think it comes down to levels, I'm a two-time world champion, I've been the best in the world... I look in his eyes, he's definitely ready, I'm definitely ready, I think I bring out things he hasn't seen before."
