A Premier League Stadium will host the eagerly awaited return of Tyson Fury this April when he fights Arslanbek Makhmudov
Tyson Fury will be returning to the ring for the first time in over 15 months and the event is set to take place at a Premier League stadium.
Fury is fighting Russian heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov.
The fight was announced a number of weeks ago, with Netflix securing broadcasting rights to Fury’s return, the fight will take place on April 11th.
At 37 years old, the former champion remains focused on legacy. He is targeting a route back toward championship contention and the rare achievement of becoming a three-time heavyweight world champion.
Whether Makhmudov proves to be the ideal comeback opponent or a dangerous threat with nothing to lose remains one of the key questions heading into fight night.
A successful return would immediately place Fury back into the heavyweight mix, with major domestic and international opportunities likely to follow.
Fury has always expressed a desire to fight at Old Trafford, however due to scheduling issues, this fight is set to land somewhere else.
Reported first by The Sun, Tyson Fury versus Arslanbek Makhmudov is heading to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with a press conference set for next Monday.
Since opening, The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been a hub for some of the UK’s biggest boxing matchups of recent times.
The first to land in North London was Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk in 2021.
It is also a happy hunting ground for the Gypsy King, who stopped British cult hero Derek Chisora in dominant fashion at the stadium in 2022.
In 2025, the stadium hosted the revisit of one of British Boxing’s most bitter rivarlies when Chris Eubank vs Conor Benn fought twice.
The first fight won the Ring Magazine fight of the year at the recent Ring Magazine awards, and the atmosphere was electric for both events.
