Makhmudov made a strong start to the first round, throwing a left and connecting with an overhand right.<\/p>\n

But by the third round, Makhmudov was already showing signs of fatigue, with Fury switching stances and hitting a one-two off the Russian\u2019s chin.<\/p>\n

The fight continued in a similar fashion until the final bell, as Fury moved closer to a \u201cBattle of Britain\u201d super-fight with fellow former world champion Anthony Joshua, who was watching from ringside.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never had a problem getting in the ring with you. I punched you out when we were kids, and I\u2019ll punch you out again,\u201d Joshua said as Fury shouted at him from the ring.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all due respect, tonight is your night, and you know I\u2019ll [be] in that ring across from you in due time,\u201d Joshua added.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou aren\u2019t going to tell me what to do. I\u2019ve been chasing you for the last 10 years. When you\u2019re ready, you come and see me \u2026 I\u2019m the boss. You work for me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury beats Arslanbek Makhmudov in a unanimous points decision as he makes his heavyweight comeback.
