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 bout since his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, following a brief retirement. Now, at 37, his conditioning and form will be under close scrutiny. Fury tipped the scales at 267.9lbs, a decrease from the 281lbs he weighed for his Usyk rematch, albeit with clothes on. Makhmudov, a seasoned contender with a knockout ratio exceeding 90%, looked formidable at 264.9lbs. Fury expressed his determination, stating, 'My priority is to beat this guy, and then I've got another big man lined up next.' Makhmudov, meanwhile, remains focused, saying, 'I'm ready to go; I'm ready to make my story 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.
