Welcome back Big Guy! Tyson Fury Returns

Tyson Fury has officially set a date for his highly anticipated return to the squared circle.

Following his retirement announcement in early 2025, the former heavyweight mogul is slated to return on April 11 against the formidable and towering contender Aslanbek Makhmudov.

The bout will take place in the United Kingdom, with the exact venue to be confirmed by organizers in the coming weeks. Fury, a two-time heavyweight world champion, shocked the boxing world when he walked away from the sport last year. However, the “Gypsy King” frequently hinted that his departure wasn’t final and that he had unfinished business. The remains of the day.

“I’m thrilled to be back. My heart has always been, and always will be, in boxing. Tell the King the Ace is back!” Fury stated as the matchup was made official.

Aslanbek Makhmudov enters the ring with a respected heavyweight pedigree, having only fallen to elite competition, namely interim WBC champion Agit Kabayel and Italian Olympian Guido Vianello. In his most recent bout, , Makhmudov delivered a dominant performance against fan-favorite Dave Allen in Sheffield—a victory that repositioned him on the international stage and secured this high-stakes opportunity against a modern legend.

“I am excited for this opportunity. I’m coming to fight. Tyson Fury has been a great champion, but I will be readier than ever to walk away with a decisive victory,” said Makhmudov.
