Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Bout

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped on 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. Now, at 37, his condition and form are under scrutiny. Fury tipped the scales at 267.9lbs, a notable decrease from the 281lbs he weighed for his Usyk rematch, albeit with clothes on. Makhmudov, a seasoned contender with a high knockout ratio, looked formidable at 264.9lbs. Fury acknowledged the challenges of training at an advanced age, saying, 'It gets a little bit harder each time in camp... still got plenty in the tank.' He expressed his priority to defeat Makhmudov and reclaim his titles. Makhmudov, known for his early finishes, stated, 'I'm ready to go, I'm ready to make my story happen, make my dream happen.' The event also features Conor Benn, who weighed in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight against Regis Prograis, and Richard Riakporhe, who faces Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva for the British heavyweight title.
