The Gypsy King is back.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury announced his latest comeback earlier this month and now, it has been confirmed he'll face a fellow giant in Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11.
Fury-Makhmudov -- a Ring event -- will exclusively be streamed live on Netflix, following on from the platform's success broadcasting Jake Paul-Anthony Joshua in December.
Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) was last in action 13 months ago, losing an immediate rematch with
Oleksandr Usyk for The Ring and unified world titles in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In the weeks following that 12-round defeat, he retired from the sport and lost his standing as The Ring's No. 1-rated heavyweight to fellow Queensberry stablemate Fabio Wardley.
While recently teasing a domestic duel with WBO beltholder Wardley in future, the 37-year-old will first look to remind critics there's still plenty left in his tank after a series of punishing battles, first with former WBC champion Deontay Wilder and later Usyk.
Canada-based Russian puncher Arslanbek Makhmudov (21-2, 19 KOs) rebounded from an eighth-round stoppage loss to Guido Vianello in 2024, pitching a notable 2025 with contrasting wins over Ricardo Brown and British cult hero Dave Allen four months apart.
Although he was sure to call out Fury's longtime rival Joshua in the aftermath, the 36-year-old acknowledges how big an opportunity this represents with upset potential lurking too.
