Fury, a former two-time heavyweight champion, will box Makhmudov in the Briton’s first fight since December 2024, when he was outpointed by Oleksandr Usyk for the second time in eight months.

The British welterweight was crushed by Chris Eubank Jr final April, however Benn dropped and outpointed his bitter rival in a November rematch.
