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 loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, following a brief retirement. Now, at 37, his condition and form are 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. Fury expressed that training camp gets progressively harder with age, saying, "It gets a little bit harder each time... Getting older, more injury prone, Father Time waits for nobody." He remains optimistic, stating, "I've got plenty in the tank. After another four or five retirements, I should be good." Makhmudov, a seasoned heavyweight contender with two losses and a knockout ratio exceeding 90%, appeared formidable at 264.9lbs. He voiced his readiness, saying, "I'm ready to go, I couldn't wait to make my story happen, make my dream happen." Conor Benn weighed in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight, expressing excitement to face an opponent of similar size. His opponent, Regis Prograis, came in slightly lighter at 148.1lbs, confident in his abilities as a two-time world champion. Richard Riakporhe and Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva also weighed in for their British heavyweight title fight, with Riakporhe at 234.12lbs and Tshikeva at 262.7lbs. Frazer Clarke, seeking a comeback win, weighed in at 259.12lbs for his bout against Justis Huni, who was at 246.14lbs.
