Arslanbek Makhmudov's promoter Camille Estephan has declared their goal is to send Tyson Fury back into retirement 'for real' when they meet on April 11. The 37-year-old British heavyweight is preparing for his first fight since losing to Oleksandr Usyk in their December rematch, with the venue yet to be confirmed.

Makhmudov, known for his heavy hands, aims to derail Fury's ambitious plans to dominate the heavyweight division and become a three-weight world champion. Fury has been posting regular training videos on social media, showing intense preparations including three-mile runs and 1,000 sit-ups daily. He insists he's 'never been happier' and is in a 'very good place' ahead of the bout.

This clash represents a pivotal moment for Fury, who returned from retirement last year with high-profile fights against Usyk. A loss to Makhmudov would not only derail his championship aspirations but potentially mark the end of his career. The winner is expected to receive a high world ranking, making this more than just a comeback fight for the former champion.
