As a matter of fact, the casual fan is very much at the centre of Fury’s comeback, and the clue to that is the broadcaster of his next fight: streaming juggernaut Netflix. On 11 April, Fury will take on Arslanbek Makhmudov in the Briton’s first fight since December 2024. Queensberry boss Frank Warren tweeted about Fury vs Makhmudov and posted an Instagram story about it, as did the official Queensberry page, but Warren’s specific involvement is unclear. But with that in mind, the move to broadcast Fury’s comeback still feels slightly odd. Fury vs Makhmudov as a match-up is far from mouthwatering, and even the significance of Fury’s return is not seismic, as laid out above.
