All eyes were on Tyson Fury as he made his return to boxing against the dangerous Arslanbek Makhmudov. 'The Gypsy King' was happy for his comeback tour to begin against the relatively unknown Russian, but this was no easy feat. The lesser-known veteran had a solid 21-2 record coming into the bout on Saturday night, fresh from a unanimous decision win on enemy territory against Dave Allen.

At the opening bell, Arslanbek Makhmudov showed no respect for the boxing legend, using the early rounds to throw his heavy hands, though nothing of significance was able to get through. It wouldn't take long for Tyson Fury to assert his dominance, showing the gap in pure ability inside the ring between himself and his opponent. THIS EXCHANGE BETWEEN TYSON FURY AND ARSLANBEK MAKHMUDOV.

com/kwOC6YNtN0 — Netflix Sports (@netflixsports) April 11, 2026 Makhmudov's attempt to slow Fury down by employing a clinch-heavy style backfired after he began to fatigue as the rounds flew by. Ever the showman, Fury utilized his jab and breezed through the halfway point of the fight, clearly in the lead. Uppercuts were landing all night for Fury, finding a home for several big shots on Makhmudov and cruising to his 35th career win .
