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 formidable knockout ratio, weighed in at 264.9lbs. Fury expressed that his priority is to defeat Makhmudov, stating, 'It gets a little bit harder each time in camp... but still got plenty in the tank.' He aims to reclaim his title, saying, 'I was undefeated for 17 years... it takes me back to 2015, it feels great to be the young, fresh, clean-shaven kid again.' Makhmudov, on the other hand, appeared confident, stating, 'I'm ready to go, I'm ready to make my story happen, make my dream happen.' In other weigh-ins, Conor Benn came in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight against Regis Prograis, who weighed 148.1lbs.
