\u201cThe Gypsy King\u201d wasn\u2019t impressed.<\/p>\n
Former WBC Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury returns to action this weekend<\/a> (Sat., April 11, 2026) against WBA Inter-Continental titleholder Arslanbek Makhmudov<\/a> inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, streaming on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n But ahead of his comeback, where he has unretired for the fifth time<\/a>, Fury had his eyes on last weekend\u2019s clash between Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora \u2014 two fighters he knows very, very well<\/a>.<\/p>\n And he didn\u2019t like what he saw.<\/p>\n The bout was a chaotic, back-and-forth, sloppy war, with both men hurt multiple times (watch highlights<\/a>). While many fans found it entertaining, Fury saw something else entirely.<\/p>\n \u201cBy the time the fight comes around on Saturday, I\u2019ll have been out of the ring 16 months,\u201d Fury said on Inside Ring Show. \u201cAt 37 years old, 16 months is a long time; I\u2019ve got to see how I am.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAfter watching Deontay and Chisora fight, it was hard to watch for me. It was heartbreaking. I\u2019d never seen two men slide as much as them in my life,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd I was thinking, \u2018Am I f\u2014king next?\u2019 Is this me? I told the boys, if I\u2019m even 10% as bad as those guys, take me out to the field and shoot me.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n It\u2019s a brutal assessment \u2014 and possibly a subtle jab at Wilder, who recently made the rounds claiming he deserved the nod in his past fights with Fury as well as calling Fury the biggest cheat in boxing<\/a>.<\/p>\n Still, Fury insists there\u2019s no bad blood.<\/p>\n And if everything goes according to plan this weekend, there shouldn\u2019t be any concerns about decline just yet.<\/p>\n
