Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Bout
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 fight since his rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk in late 2024, following a brief retirement. Now, at 37, Fury's condition and form are under 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 camp gets tougher with age and increased injury proneness, but he still has plenty to give. His priority is to defeat Makhmudov, and then he's eyeing the belts held by others. Fury reflected on his 17-year undefeated streak and how two consecutive losses have made him the hunter again, feeling like the young, fresh contender he once was. Makhmudov, a seasoned heavyweight with a high knockout ratio, looked formidable at 264.9lbs and is eager to make his story happen, fulfilling his dream. In other weigh-ins, Conor Benn came in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight fight against Regis Prograis, who weighed 148.1lbs. Benn is excited to fight someone his own size, while Prograis believes their fight comes down to levels, with him being a two-time world champion. Richard Riakporhe and Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva also weighed in for their British heavyweight title fight, with Riakporhe aiming to become champion. Frazer Clarke, seeking a comeback win, weighed in at 259.12lbs for his bout against Justis Huni.
