Tyson Fury is set to come out of retirement after a 16-month hiatus to face the formidable heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov tonight. The former two-time heavyweight champion made the decision to step away from boxing for the fifth time following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk. However, Fury quickly changed his mind and is now eager to make a strong comeback with a busy schedule ahead.
His opponent, Makhmudov, is known for his knockout prowess and aims to secure a significant victory in London, presenting a challenge for Fury. The fight card also features prominent names like Conor Benn and Regis Prograis in supporting roles.
Looking ahead, Fury has his sights set on a potential showdown with long-time rival Anthony Joshua in 2026 but must first navigate past the tough competition presented by Makhmudov. The Russian fighter, who last fought in October, poses a real threat to Fury’s plans.
The highly-anticipated clash between Fury and Makhmudov will be aired live on Netflix, available to fans through Sky’s Essential TV bundle or Ultimate TV bundle.
