Tyson Fury Launches Comeback Against Arslanbek Makhmudov in London
Tyson Fury makes his highly anticipated return to the boxing ring tonight, facing Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. This marks Fury's fifth comeback in his career and his first fight in sixteen months, following his retirement after a points defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024.

A victory over Makhmudov could edge him closer to a long-awaited domestic showdown with Anthony Joshua, a fight that has been speculated for nearly a decade.
