Tyson Fury returns to the ring this weekend to face Arslanbek Makhmudov, a Russian boxer known as the ‘knockout artist,’ on Saturday, April 11, at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The fight streams exclusively on Netflix, but there’s a path to watch without paying for a subscription.
The two-time heavyweight champion (34-2-1, 24 KOs) will compete over 12 rounds against Makhmudov (21-2, 19 KOs) in his first British bout in nearly four years. After his December 2024 loss to WBC champion Oleksandr Usyk, Fury emerges from a 14-month retirement to test himself against a genuine knockout threat.

Sky’s £15 Essential TV bundle includes Netflix, while the £24 Ultimate TV bundle adds HBO Max, Disney+, discovery+, and Hayu alongside Netflix and 135 TV channels. Virgin Media’s £34.99 Entertainment bundle pairs free Netflix with 362Mbps broadband and over 200 channels. Both providers require 24-month contracts to secure these deals.

What Fury Says About the Challenge
In his pre-fight press conference, Fury emphasized the importance of facing genuine danger.
“If I fight a pudding, I don’t get turned on by that. I have to fight somebody dangerous to make me want to even train, make me want to even take it seriously. So now I know I’ve got a dangerous knockout artist in front of me. I’m looking forward to coming here, putting on a real show, and most of all, I’m looking forward to punching his face right in.”
Fury’s professional resume includes victories over Deontay Wilder, Francis Ngannou, and Wladimir Klitschko, establishing him as one of modern boxing’s elite heavyweights. This bout against Makhmudov (19 KOs in 21 wins) marks a significant test in his comeback campaign.
