Tyson Fury will return to the ring on 11 April with his comeback bout taking place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Fury will take on Russian fighter Arslanbek Makhmudov in his first contest since he was defeated twice by Oleksandr Usyk in 2024.
The 37-year-old walked away from boxing at the beginning of last year, but has now stepped out of retirement once again.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium played host to Fury’s last fight in the UK, back in 2022, when he stopped Derek Chisora in the 10th round to retain WBC and lineal heavyweight championship.

Fury’s TKO victory over Chisora in 2022 is the only other time he has fought at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
