However, it was always expected that Fury would return, likely for a huge money-spinning showdown with long-time rival Anthony Joshua, and he repeatedly hinted as much before officially announcing his comeback in January<\/a>, with an April date against Makhmudov confirmed.<\/p>\n

Makhmudov, 36, is a Russian heavyweight based in Canada who has a professional record of 21-2 with 19 knockouts. He last fought in Sheffield in October, when he beat David Allen by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Both of those defeats have come in his last five bouts, with Makhmudov stopped by now interim WBC champion Agit Kabayel in the fourth round in Riyadh in 2023 on the \u2018Day of Reckoning\u2019 card ahead of Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker and Joshua vs Otto Wallin, losing his WBC-NABF and WBA Inter-Continental titles.<\/p>\n

After bouncing back with an early knockout of Miljan Rovcanin, he was then upset by Italy\u2019s Guido Vianello in the summer of 2024 in a rematch of their World Series of Boxing clash after gruesome swelling around his left eye forced the ringside doctor to wave off the bout at the start of round eight.<\/p>\n

Makhmudov responded with a first-round knockout of Jamaican Ricardo Brown in Quebec City, before travelling to the UK to defeat Allen.<\/p>\n

Fury\u2019s comeback comes amid yet more speculation that a fight with Joshua has been agreed, with renewed suggestions that it could take place in Dublin in the autumn.<\/p>\n

Joshua last fought by knocking out Jake Paul<\/a> in Miami in December, though his boxing future looked uncertain after he subsequently sustained minor injuries in a car accident in Nigeria in which two of his close friends and team members died.<\/p>\n

Eddie Hearn has said that they have been \u201cvery focused\u201d on making the Fury fight, but also did not rule out Joshua – who was in attendance at the O2 Arena – potentially facing another long-time rival in Deontay Wilder, who called him out in person after defeating Derek Chisora in a thrilling contest <\/a>by split decision last weekend.<\/p>\n

Joshua is also expected to be ringside for Fury vs Makhmudov.<\/p>\n

Fury vs Makhmudov prediction<\/p>\n

There will no doubt be an awful lot of ring rust to shake off for Fury, who has not fought for 16 months and spent the entirety of 2025 outside the ring.<\/p>\n

You would certainly not expect the self-proclaimed \u2018Gypsy King\u2019 to be at anywhere close to his best after such an extended absence, though as usual has promised a \u201cbrutal knockout\u201d to announce his latest return and first fight in the UK since stopping Chisora at Tottenham in 2022.<\/p>\n

Makhmudov is tough, aggressive and a hard-hitter who only gives up a couple of inches in height to Fury and who will view this as a massive opportunity to make a statement on the very biggest stage.<\/p>\n

However, defeats by Kabayel and Vianello have also exposed his vulnerabilities and he will have been disappointed not to have stopped Allen.<\/p>\n

The far more dynamic Fury is a whole new level of challenge that he has never faced before and will surely not be able to handle.<\/p>\n
