"Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs), who announced his latest retirement in January 2025, declared earlier this month he was set to return to boxing. He will face Makhmudov (21-2, 19 KOs) in April and while the fight will be held in the United Kingdom, an exact location has yet to be confirmed. "Excited to be back. Heart's always been and always will be in boxing. Someone go tell the king that the ace is back!" Fury said. Makhmudov, a Russian boxer based in Canada, was rumoured to be in line to fight Fury following his impressive win over British heavyweight Dave Allen in October last year."
"He then fought three times in Saudi Arabia, beating Francis Ngannou in October 2023 before back-to-back fights against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship. Usyk won both fights on points in May and December 2024, respectively, becoming the first undisputed champion of the four-belt era. Fury announced his retirement following the second clash with Usyk."
