Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports Tyson Fury is set to return to boxing on April 11, 2026, when he faces Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The fight will stream on Netflix and marks his first bout since back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk , including their December 2024 rematch. Fury, now 37, announced his retirement shortly after that defeat but has decided to return 15 months later.
The former heavyweight champion is also looking beyond boxing. He has spoken about a possible fight with former UFC champion Jon Jones and shared thoughts on his long-term future in the sport. His latest comments, made in an interview with SPORTbible , cover his opponent choice, motivation, and what could come next.
Tyson Fury Explains Makhmudov’s Fight and Anthony Joshua’s Possibility Fury said his choice of opponent was deliberate. He picked Makhmudov, a heavy puncher with a strong knockout record, to prepare himself properly for a return fight. “It takes someone of that calibre.
” Makhmudov has won 19 of his 23 professional fights by knockout. His only losses came against Guido Vianello and Agit Kabayel, but he has since won against Ricardo Brown and David Allen. If Fury wins, attention is expected to shift to a long-discussed fight with Anthony Joshua.
