Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) returns after his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk at the end of 2024. The former heavyweight champion briefly stepped away from the sport before announcing another comeback, setting up a dangerous matchup with Makhmudov.

The main support features Conor Benn (24-1, 14 KOs) against former junior welterweight champion Regis Prograis (30-3, 24 KOs). The bout marks Benn’s first appearance since signing with Zuffa Boxing. Prograis enters the fight trying to rebuild after a difficult stretch against elite opposition.

At heavyweight, British champion Jeamie Tshikeva (9-2, 5 KOs) defends his belt against Richard Riakporhe (19-1, 15 KOs). Riakporhe moves up to challenge Tshikeva in what could become a rough fight once the exchanges begin.

Another heavyweight contest places Frazer Clarke (9-2-1, 7 KOs) opposite Justis Huni (12-1, 7 KOs). Clarke enters the bout needing a strong performance after losses to Fabio Wardley and Tshikeva. Huni returns after suffering a knockout defeat against Wardley despite leading the fight before the stoppage.

Fury made it clear he expects a difficult fight against the heavy-handed Russian.

“If I fight a pudding, I don’t get turned on by that,” Fury said. “I have to fight somebody dangerous to make me want to even train, make me want to even take it seriously. So now I know I’ve got a dangerous knockout artist in front of me … I’m looking forward to coming here, putting on a real show at Tottenham.”

Makhmudov acknowledged the challenge ahead but believes he is ready for the opportunity.

“He’s a legend, but I came here to make my legacy,” Makhmudov said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen in the fight, but I am prepared for all distances.”

The April 11 event will stream globally on Netflix.
