Fury confirms April comeback fight against Makhmudov
Former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury will face Arslanbek Makhmudov in his comeback fight in April, weeks after saying he would come out of retirement.
The bout between the Briton and Canada-based Russian Makhmudov will take place in the UK on April 11, with no venue yet announced, and will be broadcast on Netflix.
Fury quit boxing in January last year after suffering a second straight defeat to Oleksandr Usyk -- the latest in a string of retirements.
The 37-year-old "Gypsy King" said earlier this month he would return to the sport in 2026 and has been training in Thailand.
"Well it's official, I'm back doing what I love to do," Fury posted on Instagram.
"I've brought the biggest network along with me @netflix @netflixuk this is going to be astronomical. Blessed by God."
Fury has a record of 34 wins, two defeats and one draw.
"I am thrilled about the opportunity," said 36-year-old Makhmudov, who has won 21 of his 23 fights. "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."
Fury had been expected to build towards a long-awaited fight against fellow British former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, but Joshua's future is uncertain after a car crash in December, in Nigeria, in which two of his close friends were killed.
