Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov LIVE: Start time, undercard, fight updates and results tonight – UK Times

A few thoughts from our columnist Steve Bunce:

“Tonight under the stars in north London, Fury returns to the ring after a long absence and has to prove he is still the No 1 attraction.

“For his return, Fury has picked Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, having only fought in the UK twice in the last eight years (all his major fights during that time have been in Las Vegas, Riyadh and Los Angeles).

“Tonight’s fight is a genuine test of his pulling power and appeal. Even with Netflix’s involvement and the lack of a pay-per-view approach, with 67,000 seats available, it will be hard to disguise a failure.”
