Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov: Date, location and how to watch Briton’s comeback fight

Tyson Fury is back and he will take on the stern test of Russian giant Arslanbek Makhmudov after over a year out of action.

Fury will make his first appearance in a boxing ring since retiring after back-to-back defeats against Oleksandr Usyk in 2024.

He is looking to make a positive bounce back and blow away any cobwebs after reversing his decision to hang up his gloves after a lengthy lay-off.

Standing in his way is Russian behemoth Makhmudov, a top 20 ranked heavyweight who made his splash on UK soil by beating Dave Allen late last year.

The ‘Gypsy King’ will be an overwhelming favourite to get back to winning ways, ahead of a big 2026 where he hopes to return to the world title mix.

Big fights including a world title shot against Fabio Wardley, or a potential mega-fight with Anthony Joshua are set to lay in wait if he moves forward and past the juggernaut.

Makhmudov will hope to spoil the party and capitalise on Fury’s inactivity to try and get a career-best upset win under his belt.
