Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Fight

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped on the scales ahead of their highly anticipated heavyweight bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This marks Fury's first fight since his rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk in late 2024, following a brief retirement. At 37 years old, Fury's condition and form will be under close scrutiny. He 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 gets more challenging with age, saying, "It gets a little bit harder each time in camp... Getting older, more injury prone, Father Time waits for nobody." He prioritizes beating Makhmudov, stating, "My priority is to beat this fella... 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%, looked formidable at 264.9lbs. He said, "I'm ready to go, I can't wait to make my story happen, make my dream happen... It's my dream, my time." In other weigh-ins, Conor Benn came in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight against Regis Prograis, who weighed 148.1lbs. Benn stated, "I definitely could have made 147... I've been putting middleweights over in the gym. I'm excited to be fighting somebody my own size for once." Prograis, a two-time world champion, believes he's the better fighter, saying, "I think it comes down to levels... I don't take anything away from Conor Benn, but I do think I'm the better fighter." Richard Riakporhe weighed 234.12lbs for his British heavyweight title fight against Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva, who came in at 262.7lbs. Frazer Clarke, seeking a comeback win, weighed 259.12lbs for his fight against Justis Huni, who was 246.14lbs.
