Netflix brought some of that Hollywood glamor to a poolside rooftop event.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"4e\">Britain&#8217;s two-time former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-2-1 with 24 KOs) will take on menacing Russian fighter Arslanbek Makhmudov (21-2 with 19 KOs) this weekend at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We have arrived at tonight\u2019s Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov launch party \ud83e\udd29<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf9f\ufe0f Tickets on sale NOW: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Y66jtzZti9\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/Y66jtzZti9<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FuryMakhmudov?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#FuryMakhmudov<\/a> | April 11th | LIVE on Netflix | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lvTlyXybVa\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/lvTlyXybVa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ring Magazine (@ringmagazine) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ringmagazine\/status\/2041946531503169957?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 8, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"4k\">Earlier in the day, the two fighters posed atop the iconic stadium (supported by safety wire, of course, as a part of the promotional material for this fight).<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"4n\">Private membership clubs like Soho House are something the United Kingdom does better than the U.S. these days. You can add heavyweight boxers to that list as well. Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua being the old guard of their era, with Fabio Wardley and especially Moses Itauma now, suggest the future of the division in the UK is bright. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"4q\">There are other stars like Daniel Dubois who are somewhere in between, and plenty more who will likely never make it past the domestic level. It&#8217;s worth noting this card on Netflix will also feature a British title fight.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"4t\">\u201cI am picking Tyson Fury to win this one,\u201d said Johnny Fisher, who is often referred to by his ring moniker, the \u201cRomford Bull.\u201d Fisher\u00a0is one of the more entertaining heavyweight prospects in the United Kingdom at the moment and is a genuinely affable guy, having previously spoken to KO On SI when he appeared in a celebrity padel tournament.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01k0azk9czfrhm9nfxxv.jpg\" alt=\"Tyson Fury\" title=\"Tyson Fury\" width=\"1767\" height=\"993\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"53\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Tyson Fury | IMAGO \/ PA Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"57\">In one of the other fights, Fisher said he was leaning towards Australian Justia Huni (12-1 with 7 KOs) to defeat Frazer Clark. However, he admitted that Frazer Clark (9-2-1, 7 KOs) remains a dangerous puncher. \u00a0Huni was stopped with one punch by Fabio Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KOs) \u00a0in their encounter.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5a\">Fisher also told KO On SI he is picking Connor Benn (24-1 with 14 Kos) to win his fight against New Orleans fighter Regis Prograis (30-3 with 24 KOs).<\/p>\n<p>Last stand for Regis Prograis?<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udd25REGIS PROGRAIS ARRIVES IN LONDON TO FACE OFF WITH CONOR BENN\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfa5 Ring Magazine <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/N97yp5g8zG\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/N97yp5g8zG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Boxing King Media (@boxingkingmedia) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/boxingkingmedia\/status\/2041572468221977029?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5j\">Regis Prograis is the only American on the Netflix card. He was the last of the fighters on the card to attend a photo shoot at Soho House.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5m\">This relaxed approach to this fight differs from his approach to his last ring appearance in the UK. In October 2019, Prograis came to the United Kingdom to take on Josh Taylor. After the weigh-in in Canary Wharf, Prograis seemed upset. He ended up losing a close fight and the honor of being the first four-belt champion in the junior welterweight division. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5p\">He has shrugged off rumors of injuries in the build-up to his fight and is a significant underdog against Connor Benn. If somehow \u201cRogarou\u201d can summon his legs and take the fight to the inside against Benn, he should have some success.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5s\">In addition to the fighters on the card, a number of figures from the international and British boxing scene attended the event, including former contender Dylan Whyte, who was the last big-name fighter to leave the event.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury won the red carpet with his attendance at the &#8220;Grand Arrival&#8221; event in central London on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":384454,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-384453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384453\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
