The Return of the Gypsy King

Tyson Fury is set to make his highly anticipated return to professional boxing on April 11 following a brief retirement that began in January 2025. Fury stepped away from the sport after suffering consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, but the lure of a new era in boxing has brought him back to the ring. He will face the heavy hitting Arslanbek Makhmudov in a main event that marks a significant collaboration between Zuffa Boxing and The Ring, with the global streaming giant Netflix set to broadcast the proceedings.

A Record Breaking Co Main Event

The undercard is headlined by a massive catchweight clash between Conor Benn and former two time world champion Regis Prograis. Benn has reportedly signed a landmark $15 million one fight deal with Zuffa Boxing to compete at a 150 lb limit. This bout represents Benn's first appearance under the Zuffa banner and serves as a pivotal test for Prograis, who is fighting to maintain his standing among the elite of the division following a period of mixed results.

Domestic Heavyweight Title Stakes

The British Heavyweight Title will be on the line as Jeamie TKV makes his first defense against Richard Riakporhe. TKV enters the bout with significant momentum following a career defining victory over Frazer Clarke. His challenger, Riakporhe, is making a bold move up from the cruiserweight division to test his power against established heavyweights. This matchup is viewed as a high stakes domestic clash that could determine the next mandatory challenger for world honors.
