Following reports, it has now been confirmed that Tyson Fury will make his ring return in a UK stadium.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 retired from the sport in January 2025 following two losses to Oleksandr Usyk<\/a>. At the start of this year, he confirmed what many believed was inevitable when announcing his comeback.<\/p>\n

With his sights set on world titles, revenge against Usyk or a long-awaited grudge match against Anthony Joshua later in the year, Fury has first booked what should be an easier touch in Makhmudov<\/a>, though the Russian powerhouse can punch hard and has lost on only two occasions.<\/p>\n

For the showdown, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has now been booked, as confirmed by Ring Magazine\u2019s Turki Alalshikh in a statement today.<\/p>\n

\u201cFury vs Makhmudov will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 11 April, with the landmark London venue confirmed to host the heavyweight bout. The event is promoted by The Ring and will be broadcast globally on Netflix.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe press conference will take place on Monday 16th February at 4 pm at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, giving fans and media a first look at both heavyweights ahead of the fight. The press conference will stream live on Ring Magazine and Netflix\u2019s YouTube channels.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first marks Spurs\u2019 stadium\u2019s fifth boxing card, with Anthony Joshua vs Usyk\u2019s first meeting the inaugural show before Fury\u2019s trilogy with Derek Chisora a year later. In 2024, Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn twice did battle at the 62,850 capacity ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following reports, it has now been confirmed that Tyson Fury will make his ring return in a UK…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":472808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-476030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/472808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
