Tyson Fury officially ends his 16-month retirement, stepping back into the squared circle tonight in London to face the imposing Arslanbek Makhmudov. Fury last competed in December 2024, suffering his second career defeat against Oleksandr Usyk before initially calling time on his boxing career the following month. This comeback bout takes place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The heavyweight challenger, Makhmudov, presents a stern initial test for the former champion looking to shake off ring rust. Should Fury successfully navigate this challenge against the Russian contender, promoters have suggested that significantly bigger matchups are penciled in for later in the year. Fury had recently sent a public challenge toward Anthony Joshua.

Co-headlining the stacked card, Conor Benn prepares for his first professional outing under the banner of Dana White's Zuffa Boxing, taking on Regis Prograis in the co-main event. British boxing fans watch closely as Fury attempts to re-establish dominance at the highest level following his self-imposed hiatus.

Clarke and Huni are also scheduled to feature prominently on the main card as the evening builds toward the headline attraction. Fury’s return signals a major shift in the heavyweight division’s immediate future following a prolonged absence from the top tier.
