Big-time boxing returns to the UK on Saturday as Tyson Fury makes a dramatic comeback to the sport against Arslanbek Makhmudov.
Makhmudov is Fury’s first opponent apart from Oleksandr Usyk in over two years.
‘The Gypsy King’ announced his retirement after his last loss to Usyk, but now eyes world glory one last time.
Fury is a two-time heavyweight world champion. He won the first world title of his career back in 2015, where he caused an upset against Wladimir Klitschko.
He won his second world title against Deontay Wilder in their rematch and remained unbeaten until 2024.
That year, he suffered the first two losses of his career, both to the Ukrainian.
Fury takes on the massive Makhmudov, who comes off a big win back in October.
He beat Doncaster’s Dave Allen over 12 rounds in a fight the judges scored widely in the Russian’s favour.
Fury comes into the contest a wide favourite but ‘The Lion’ definitely brings a threat to the former world champion, with an impressive 91% stoppage ratio.
Conor Benn also features on the card in the co-main event in what is his first fight since switching from Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing for Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing.
He has fought at middleweight in his last two fights against Chris Eubank Jr and will fight at a 150lbs limit on Saturday against Regis Prograis.
