Tyson Fury’s Comeback Opponent Revealed for April 11 Netflix Match
Tyson Fury is gearing up for a significant return to the boxing ring. El-Balad has confirmed that Fury will face Arslanbek Makhmudov in a highly anticipated heavyweight match. This bout is set to take place on April 11 and will be broadcast live on Netflix in the U.K.
Details of Tyson Fury’s Comeback Fight
Fury, who holds a professional record of 34 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, announced his comeback after retiring in January 2025. His exit from the sport followed a disappointing defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in what was his second consecutive championship loss. Fury’s retirement was met with skepticism, as this was the fifth time he had stepped away from boxing.
Fury vs. Makhmudov: Fight Overview
Arslanbek Makhmudov, with a record of 21 wins and 2 losses, will be Fury’s opponent. The exact venue for the fight remains unspecified, but expectations are high as Makhmudov is coming off two consecutive victories. This includes his latest win against David Allen, which saw him claim the WBA Inter-Continental heavyweight title.
- Date: April 11
- Broadcast: Netflix
- Fury’s Record: 34-2-1
- Makhmudov’s Record: 21-2
What’s Next for Fury?
Fury aims to achieve his first victory since narrowly defeating former UFC star Francis Ngannou in October 2023. Notably, plans for a showdown with fellow British boxer Anthony Joshua remain uncertain. This is largely due to Joshua’s ongoing recovery from a personal tragedy stemming from a car accident in Nigeria in December. The accident led to the loss of his close friends and coaches, Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami.
The upcoming match between Fury and Makhmudov promises to be an exciting revival of heavyweight boxing. Given Fury’s stature as a former unified world champion, fans are eager to see if he can reclaim his position at the top of the sport.
