Tyson Fury Faces Bear-Wrestling Arslanbek Makhmudov in His Latest Comeback to Heavyweight Boxing

Fury ends another retirement chase with a 12-round bout against Makhmudov, while a win could move him toward Anthony Joshua.

  • On Saturday, Tyson Fury returns from retirement to face Arslanbek Makhmudov in a 12-round heavyweight bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
  • Fury, the former two-time heavyweight champion, ended his fifth retirement because he wants to "punch men in the face and get paid for it," having lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk.
  • Russian-Born Makhmudov, from Dagestan and living in Canada, describes himself as a "kind guy" prepared to be "scary," having wrestled a bear to "overcome the threshold of fear."
  • Victory would revive prospects for a long-awaited showdown with Anthony Joshua, whom Fury told DAZN is the "fight we're looking to make next."
  • In the highlight of Saturday's undercard, Conor Benn faces Regis Prograis at a catchweight of 150 lbs; the Netflix event begins at 7 p.m. local time, with Fury's ring walk expected around 10:30 p.m.
