Tyson Fury has officially announced his return to the boxing ring, confirming a highly anticipated matchup against heavyweight contender Arslanbek Makhmudov, scheduled for April 11. This marks a significant moment for Fury, a former two-time heavyweight world champion who had previously declared his retirement from the sport at the beginning of 2025. However, he has made it clear that his passion for boxing remains undiminished, prompting him to begin training for a comeback.
The location for this exciting fight will be in the UK, with details about the venue set to be revealed soon. Fury expressed his enthusiasm for returning to the sport, stating, “Excited to be back. Heart's always been and always will be in boxing. Someone go tell the king that the ace is back!” His words resonate with fans, showcasing his enduring commitment to the sport.
On the other side of the ring, Makhmudov, a formidable contender originally from Russia but now based in Canada, has established himself as a strong competitor. His only losses have come at the hands of quality opponents, including Agit Kabayel, the current WBC Interim titleholder, and Olympic medalist Guido Vianello. In his most recent bout, Makhmudov showcased his strength by defeating the well-known British fighter Dave Allen in Sheffield, which has helped position him favorably for this upcoming challenge.
Makhmudov shared his excitement about the fight, stating, "I am thrilled about the opportunity. I'm coming to deliver a war. Tyson Fury has been a big champion. I will be more ready than ever to leave with a massive W." His spirited declaration adds an extra layer of anticipation to what promises to be an electrifying encounter.
