Tyson Fury made his fifth return to boxing on Saturday, in a comfortable points win against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
It was Fury’s first fight in 16 months, with the Briton having retired (yet again) in the wake of his second loss to Oleksandr Usyk, a points defeat in December 2024.
Fury, 37, believes he can become a world heavyweight champion again, while this win over Makhmudov also moved the Briton closer to a clash with Anthony Joshua – a domestic fight that is still on the cards after almost a decade of links. In fact, Joshua watched on from ringside on Saturday, with Fury calling out his compatriot after beating Makhmudov on all three judges’ scorecards.
On an action-packed undercard Conor Benn outpointed Regis Prograis in a gruelling 10-round contest, while Richard Riakporhe battered Jeamie TKV to win the British heavyweight title.
