US EditionTyson Fury Beats Arslanbek Makhmudov and Calls Out Anthony Joshua
Fury dominated the 12-round bout on all three scorecards and then challenged Anthony Joshua for a long-awaited British heavyweight showdown.
- On Saturday, 37-year-old Tyson Fury returned to the ring at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, dominating Arslanbek Makhmudov to earn a unanimous decision victory before approximately 60,000 spectators.
- Ending a 16-month break from boxing, Fury paid tribute to the late Ricky Hatton, the former world champion who died last year at age 46, by wearing his colors during the ring walk.
- Judges scored the 12-round contest 120-108, 120-108, and 119-109, as the Briton utilized his jab and footwork to neutralize Makhmudov's aggressive forward-moving attacks throughout the bout.
