Fury Weighs in Lighter for Makhmudov Bout

Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov stepped on 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, 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. In a recent interview with Netflix, Fury acknowledged the challenges of training, saying, "It gets a little bit harder each time in camp... Getting older, more injury prone, Father Time waits for nobody." Despite this, Fury remains focused on his priority: beating Makhmudov. Makhmudov, a seasoned heavyweight contender with two losses and a knockout ratio exceeding 90%, appeared formidable at 264.9lbs. In contrast to Fury's typical bravado, Makhmudov has been relatively subdued in the lead-up to the fight. Conor Benn, meanwhile, weighed in at 149.5lbs for his catchweight bout against Regis Prograis, who came in at 148.1lbs. Benn expressed excitement about facing an opponent his own size, while Prograis confidently asserted his status as a two-time world champion. Other notable weigh-ins included Richard Riakporhe at 234.12lbs for his British heavyweight title fight against Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva, who weighed 262.7lbs, and Frazer Clarke at 259.12lbs for his bout against Justis Huni, who tipped the scales at 246.14lbs.
