🔮 Fury vs. Makhmudov preview: What to know
This will be Fury’s first time competing since December 2024, when he dropped a competitive decision to undefeated great Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia. Since then, the now 37-year-old prize fighter has spent some time on the sidelines getting healthy and is prepared to take one last run at reclaiming his spot atop the heavyweight mountain.
His opponent, Arslanbek Makhmudov, last saw action in October 2025 when he captured a unanimous decision victory over David Allen, and now he gets the opportunity to secure his biggest career win.
It’s a critical matchup for both men, as a loss for the Englishman would likely spell the end of his career, while a win for the underdog Makhmudov would set him up for potential big-money fights. Fury is a -650 favourite, and all the action can be seen on April 11 live on Netflix, with the main card starting at 2 pm ET.

Tyson Fury (-650) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
There are a lot of questions tied to what kind of shape Tyson Fury will be in after a year and a half away from competition, but this is a matchup he should be able to thoroughly dominate. Makhmudov is too hittable to last 12 rounds with a big puncher like Fury, as seen by both of his career defeats coming by way of knockout.
Fury’s biggest battle has been motivation, and with so much riding on this return fight, wait to see what the price is for a win by knockout and take that accordingly.

❓Fury vs. Makhmudov FAQs
Why is Fury fighting Makhmudov instead of a top challenger?
After suffering the first two defeats of his career followed by an extended layoff, Tyson Fury is in search of a confidence booster to prove he can still be a force within the current heavyweight landscape.
Can Makmudov shock the world and win this fight?
He certainly has a path to victory with his power-punching abilities, coupled with the uncertainty of Fury's mindset. But he’s being brought in specifically to make his opponent look good. Makhmudov has never been seen as a real threat to any legitimate heavyweight title, and at 36 years old he's also on the tail end of his prime.
