JAKARTA - The clash between former WBC heavyweight belt holder Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov is confirmed to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England.
The fight marks Fury's return to the boxing ring after deciding to retire following his defeat against two-time undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in late 2024.
The fight between the two names has previously been confirmed to take place on April 11, 2026 and will be broadcast live on Netflix. However, the location of their match has only been announced now.
Fury, who is from England, has not fought since suffering a second consecutive defeat against Usyk. He first lost via split decision in the heavyweight unification duel before falling by a unanimous decision in the rematch.
Tottenham Stadium was the location of Fury's previous fight in December 2022 when he defeated Derek Chisora to retain the WBC belt, which was eventually taken by Usyk in the unification.
Fury initially insisted he would not return to the ring after losing to Usyk. However, he later decided to return, which was associated with several big matches.
The Gypsy King is said to be eyeing a duel with his compatriot, Anthony Joshua, which is a fight that many fans are eagerly awaiting as well as seizing the status of the best heavyweight boxer from England.
Joshua has so far shown no signs of getting back in the ring despite wanting to fight Fury. It's related to an accident in Nigeria at the end of last year where two close friends died.
In addition to Joshua, Fury also seems to be hunting a trilogy against Usyk. However, a clash with the Ukrainian fighter is unlikely to happen unless he can become a world champion again.
