Tyson Fury is set to return to the ring on Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a 15-month absence, facing Russian-born heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov. The former world champion weighed in lighter than his previous fight but still slightly heavier than his opponent.
Fury stated he remains the man to beat in the heavyweight division and admitted he previously “took his undefeated record for granted.” He appears lean and sharp as he comes out of retirement for this bout.
Following this fight, Fury has expressed his desire to face compatriot Anthony Joshua. He first needs to overcome Makhmudov, a devastating puncher known for unconventional pastimes, including wrestling a bear.
