Tyson Fury is coming out of retirement (for the fifth time) in a huge fight streamed live on Netflix against Arslanbek Makhmudov.<\/p>\n

Fury\u2019s<\/a> fight is his first on Netflix as the streamer continues to aggressively expand into the boxing world, continuing from Jake Paul\u2019s mega fight against Anthony Joshua last year.<\/p>\n

The fight takes place tomorrow, 11 April, however, today Netflix<\/a> will be releasing a brand-new season of their reality series focused on Fury and his family, At Home With the Furys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While this may seem like all good news for fans of Fury<\/a> with a Netflix subscription, but millions could be at risk of a \u00a31,000 fine for watching his fight against Makhmudov.<\/p>\n

Why could I be risking a \u00a31,000 fine by watching the Tyson Fury fight on Netflix?\"TysonTyson Fury will be boxing live on Netflix (Richard Pelham\/Getty Images for Netflix)<\/p>\n

The risk all comes into play when you consider that, in the eyes of the law, watching TV<\/a> live on Netflix is classed in the same way as watching any other form of live TV even though it\u2019s a streamer.<\/p>\n

This means that, even if all you have is Netflix and you\u2019re watching it live on your laptop, you still need a TV license in the UK to watch any live broadcast.<\/p>\n

This includes sports events such as Tyson Fury\u2019s fight, other boxing events, or live events such as the WWE that are streamed on Netflix.<\/p>\n

BBC sources have previously confirmed to LADbible that if you get caught without a TV license watching a live Netflix event you could be liable to enforcement actions.<\/p>\n

The maximum fine for this is \u00a31,000.<\/p>\n

Fury\u2019s return fight comes against the massive Russian power-puncher Makhmudov, with rumours suggesting it is a warmup fight ahead of a long-awaited bout with Anthony Joshua later this year.<\/p>\n

Boxing fans will all too well know the experience of being made to stay up till the early hours of the morning for a fight that only ends up lasting a few minutes \u2013 this time round you won\u2019t have that struggle.<\/p>\n

The event starts at 7pm in the UK, with ring walks for the main event expected at 10pm.<\/p>\n

Standing at 6 foot 5 inches, he has a record of 21-2 and beat English Heavyweight David Allen in his last fight to win the WBA Inter-Continental heavyweight title.<\/p>\n

Fury acknowledged that Makhmudov is a \u2018dangerous opponent\u2019, however he is still a massive underdog in the bout.<\/p>\n

Where can I watch At Home with the Furys season two and what does it cover?<\/p>\n

At Home with the Furys season two is available to stream now on Netflix and covers Fury\u2019s decision to return to boxing.<\/p>\n

In addition to that it looks at Tyson\u2019s relationship with his wife Paris Fury along with their seven children.<\/p>\n
