Tyson Fury returns April 11 vs. Aslanbek Makhmudov in the UK, live on Netflix. Fury is likely the betting favorite thanks to home advantage and profile, but Makhmudov’s 19 KOs make a stoppage upset plausible — punters might back Fury on the moneyline or target value by betting the Russian as a high-return underdog or on round-specific props.
Tyson Fury to make heavyweight comeback against Aslanbek Makhmudov on April 11
Tyson Fury has confirmed his return to the ring on April 11, facing Russia’s Aslanbek Makhmudov in the United Kingdom. The bout will be streamed live on Netflix, marking the platform’s first live Boxing broadcast from the UK. Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) frames the fight as a homecoming and a step toward a potential third meeting with Oleksandr Usyk.
Fight details and venue
The event is promoted as a Ring show and will take place at an unnamed UK venue. Turki Al‑Sheikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, confirmed the date and the Ring promotion involvement. This will be Fury’s first fight on British soil since his 2022 win over Derek Chisora.
Fury’s recent retirement and context
Fury announced another retirement in January 2025 with a brief Instagram message. The announcement followed Fury’s rematch defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, where all three judges scored the fight 116‑112 for the Ukrainian. Fury publicly disputed that result. Since the loss, Fury spent much of 2025 filming the second series of his Netflix show and has since been posting training footage, hinting at a comeback.
Aslanbek Makhmudov profile
Makhmudov (21-2, 19 KOs), who is based in Canada, will bring significant power to the contest. He beat British heavyweight Dave Allen in his most recent outing last October. His only professional defeats came against Agit Kabayel — the current WBC interim titleholder — and Olympian Guido Vianello. Makhmudov’s high knockout rate makes him a dangerous opponent despite losses on his record.
Promotion and broadcast
Fury is promoted by Queensberry, and the fight’s live streaming on Netflix represents a notable platform move. Fury also has an existing relationship with Netflix through documentary and series projects. The broadcast arrangement gives Netflix a front‑row role in Fury’s next chapter.
Betting implications and market outlook
Bookmakers are likely to install Fury as a clear favorite given his stature and the home‑venue factor, but Makhmudov’s 19 KOs ensure genuine upset potential. Expect heavy market action on Fury’s moneyline and rounds markets; savvy punters may find value in Makhmudov as an underdog or in round‑specific/inside‑distance props. Consider the risk of ring rust for Fury after time away and Makhmudov’s power when assessing stakes.
