Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov – results and post-fight report
It was another comeback in Tyson Fury’s career. The former heavyweight world champion eased his way back into title contention at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when ‘The Gypsy King’ scored an almost overwhelming score over twelve rounds against Arslanbek Makhmudov.
Netflix broadcast the Fury vs Makhmudov fight live from north London.
Fury (35-2-1, KO24) was last seen in December 2024, when he made a clear decision in favor of Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed title after losing to the Ukrainian seven months earlier, before selecting Makhmudov (21-3, KO19) as his comeback opponent, with the Russian scoring a grueling points victory over Dave Allen last October.
Makhmudov started well, catching Fury early in the first round, but all was well once Fury started working on the uppercut in the second round, and Makhmudov looked tired in the third round as Fury worked his opponent’s body from the inside.
The bodywork and jab worked well for Fury, and in the sixth throw another uppercut found its mark, followed by a series of jabs.
Makhmudov showed a brief resistance in the seventh set, but left hook from Fury staggered him a round later and the Englishman finished him off.
There was more of the same in the championship rounds, with stiff jabs snapping the guy’s head back and a body shot hurting Makhmudov again in the penultimate frame. He eagerly held on at every opportunity, with Fury maintaining his dominance until the final bell, where the result was no longer in doubt.

Two scores of 120-108 and the third 119-109 confirmed a wide victory for Fury, who immediately called Britian to fight Anthony Joshua, who was sitting at the ring.
Conor Benn vs. Regis Prograis
On the undercard, much was expected from Conor Benn’s (25-1, KO14) promotional debut following his split from Matchroom.
He had to work challenging to win the welterweight fight against former two-time world champion Regis Prograis (30-4, KO24) in ten rounds.
It was a close match, but Benn controlled the action most of the time and recorded the win by three scores, 98-92.

Undercard remaining
Richard Riakporhe (20-1, KO16) won the British heavyweight title, releasing the title from Jeami TKV (9-3, KO5) in his first defense, winning by fifth-round stoppage.
TKV was trailing before the break and Riakporhe applied pressure several times, forcing the referee to intervene.
Frazer Clarke (9-3-1, KO7) didn’t see his attempt to resurrect his career go up in smoke as the heavyweight was defeated by a ten-round majority decision by Justis Huni (13-1, KO7).
Two scores of 96-94 won the fight for Huni, while the third judge decided it was a draw 95-95.
Over eight rounds, former British and Commonwealth champion Felix Cash (17-1, KO11) returned to action after an almost two-year layoff and submitted Liam O’Hare (13-3, KO4) multiple times en route to a second-round middleweight stoppage.
Breyon Gorham (22-0, KO17) remained undefeated, and super lightweight Eduardo Costa Do Nascimento (12-6, KO5) stopped in round five, defeating the Brazilian in the first match.
Paweł August (18-0, KO7) won the undefeated six-round fight, and the middleweight fighter won 58-56 against Simon Zachenhuber (28-1, KO17).
Flyweight prospect Mikie Tallon (13-0, KO3) stopped Leandro Jose Blanca (8-5, KO3) with a round body shot, and Elliot Whale (14-0, KO9) stopped Tom Hill (12-5, KO3) in the fourth frame of their welterweight fight.
Super featherweight newcomer Sultan Almohammed (3-0, KO2) scored another quick victory, this time defeating Hector Avila Lozano (3-8-1, KO3) in the third round of a scheduled four-round fight.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).

Lewis Crocker returns to the ring this week and faces Liam Paro.
Paro is Crocker’s first defense IBF welterweight world title.
He has been out of the ring since September 2025, when he appeared in the long-awaited rematch with Paddy Donovan.
After falling behind before the first fight was stopped due to Donovan’s disqualification, he entered the second fight as an underdog.
“The Croc” put on a great performance and proved the bookies wrong by taking down and dropping Donovan multiple times throughout the fight.
With the victory, Crocker became the IBF world champion in his hometown of Belfast.
His opponent, Paro, has only one defeat to his name. It came against Richardson Hitchins in 2024, when he was on the wrong side of a split decision.
Since that loss, he has picked up two victories, defeating Jonathan Navarro and most recently David Papot, who will be Harlem Eubank’s next opponent in July.
