Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Clash

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped onto the scales prior to their highly anticipated heavyweight bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday. This marks Fury's first fight since his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch at the end of 2024, following a brief retirement. Fury, now 37, weighed in at 267.9lbs, a decrease from the 281lbs he weighed for his Usyk rematch, albeit with clothes on. Fury expressed that training camp has become increasingly challenging with age, saying, "It gets a little bit harder each time... Getting older, more injury prone, Father Time waits for nobody." He emphasized his priority is to defeat Makhmudov, stating, "I've got loads of Easter eggs in the fridge ready for me. Whoever has these belts I want them back." Makhmudov, a seasoned heavyweight contender with two losses and a knockout ratio of over 90%, weighed in at 264.9lbs. He appeared formidable and expressed his readiness, saying, "I'm ready to go, I can't wait to make my story happen, make my dream happen." In other weigh-ins, Conor Benn came in under the 150lb catchweight limit at 149.5lbs for his fight against Regis Prograis, who weighed 148.1lbs. Richard Riakporhe hit the scales at 234.12lbs ahead of his British heavyweight title fight against Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva, who was 262.7lbs. Frazer Clarke weighed in at 259.12lbs for his bout against Justis Huni, who was 246.14lbs.
