Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Showdown

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped onto the scales ahead of their highly anticipated heavyweight bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This marks Fury's first fight since his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, following a brief retirement. At 37, 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. Fury expressed that training has become increasingly challenging with age, saying, 'It gets a little bit harder each time in camp... Getting older, more injury prone, Father Time waits for nobody.' Despite this, he remains confident, stating, 'My priority is to beat this fella... I've got loads of Easter eggs in the fridge ready for me.' Makhmudov, a seasoned heavyweight contender with a knockout ratio of over 90%, weighed in at 264.9lbs. He conveyed his readiness, saying, 'I'm ready to go, I can't wait to make my story happen, make my dream happen.'
