Tyson Fury makes his long-awaited return to the boxing ring next week, and if you want to see it live in the flesh, you won’t have to dig too deep into your pockets.
Fury, 37, will come out of retirement after a year-long spell away from the sport to take on the heavy-handed Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11.
Steaming giants Netflix will air the heavyweight clash for no extra cost to subscribers, with presenter Elle Duncan, former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, Hall of Famer Laila Ali, and ex-super-middleweight king Carl Froch fronting the coverage.
But if you want to watch the big bout from within the stadium in north London, you can buy tickets in the top tier for as little as £19.
Fury’s comeback has not quite captured the nation’s fans’ interest as expected, with plenty of tickets still available.
Ticket-selling sites such as Viagogo are still selling seats in the majority of blocks, while on Ticketmaster last week, seats could be seen priced at a shockingly low £4.95.

Fury had previously dismissed claims that his fight with the unheralded Makhmudov, 36, might struggle to sell 60,000 tickets, saying that his inactivity is a ‘massive factor’.
The Gypsy King has been away from the boxing game ever since his second-straight defeat to former undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, 16 months ago.
Fury is hopeful of securing a blockbuster bout with Anthony Joshua later in the year, but first has to deal with Makhmudov, who has a strong record of 21-2 with 19 knockouts.
One of those victories was against rising British star Dave Allen, as he beat the Yorkshire fighter via unanimous decision in his own backyard of Sheffield last October.
It will be the first time The Gypsy King has fought in front of home fans since 2022.
Fury holds a professional record of 34 wins, two losses, and one draw, with 24 knockouts. Both defeats on his record came against Usyk.
