Tyson Fury returns on April 11 in a Netflix-streamed heavyweight fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov, marking his first bout since retirement and placing him immediately back into the division’s upper tier.
This is a title-path reentry fight for Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs), who exits retirement and returns to the domestic market after more than three years away from a British ring. Arslanbek Makhmudov (21-2, 19 KOs) accepts the assignment as a high-risk opponent whose offense has historically shortened nights.
Fury’s comeback places him back near the top of the heavyweight picture. Makhmudov brings forward pressure, works behind heavy shots, and rarely spends rounds collecting information. The fight tests how much Fury has left after inactivity and how quickly he can reclaim position.
The fight streams live on Netflix at no additional cost, marking the platform’s first boxing event staged in the United Kingdom.

The undercard has not yet been announced. Additional bouts are expected to be confirmed closer to the event.
Fury should stick to retirement. He was great, but he’s not the same anymore. Makhmudov might knock him out!
This isn’t even a title fight, so what’s the point? Just sounds like a money grab to me.
Makhmudov needs this fight to prove himself. But can he really handle Fury? I doubt it!
Makhmudow can not handle tied up donkey on his good day.
It is a very strange fight no one need or want to see.
I don’t understand why Fury is coming back. He lost two times already! Why risk more losses?
Makhmudov pose very little risk but russians pay big money for this fight to happened.
Money and politics are the only reasons for this fight.
