Fury Tips the Scales 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 loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, following a brief retirement. Now, at 37, his conditioning and form are under scrutiny. Fury weighed in at 267.9lbs, a decrease from the 281lbs he recorded for his Usyk rematch, albeit while clothed. Makhmudov, a seasoned contender with a knockout ratio exceeding 90%, looked formidable at 264.9lbs. Fury stated, 'It gets tougher each time, but I still have plenty in the tank.' Makhmudov expressed his readiness, saying, 'I'm ready to make my story happen, 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.
