Location ‘Confirmed’ for Tyson Fury’s First Fight in UK Since 2022
Tyson Fury is set to make his comeback against Arslanbek Makhmudov in a huge stadium.
Fury, 37, is set to resume his legendary boxing career this year after announcing his retirement following his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024.
It was announced last month that he would face Makhmudov on April 11 in a heavyweight bout that will be aired on Netflix, who have aired several big fights, including Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul and Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford.
The press release confirmed Fury vs. Makhmudov would be staged in the UK but didn't reveal an exact venue.

Well, according to The Sun, the British star appears to be heading to a Premier League stadium.
The report claims Fury vs. Makhmudov is expected to take place at Tottenham's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs' home has already played host to a Fury fight, having staged his world title clash against Derek Chisora in December 2022.
And the ground also staged both fights between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn last year.
Eubank Jr. vs. Benn drew a massive crowd of 67,484, with the rematch attracting around 55,000 fans.
Spurs, who are without a permanent manager following the dismissal of Thomas Frank, are away at Sunderland on the weekend of April 11/12, leaving their 64,000-seater stadium available.
A press conference is slated for next Monday to make an official announcement.
Fury is no stranger to fighting in stadiums, having fought at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium, not to mention Dusseldorf's Merkur Spiel-Arena and Belfast's Windsor Park.
He stopped Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium in April 2022.
And the self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' had his crowning night in Merkur Spiel-Arena - formerly Esprit Arena - when he beat Wladimir Klitschko to become world champion.
Fury also boxed Francesco Pianeta at Windsor Park in August 2018.
