HIGHLIGHTS
- A former heavyweight champion returns after 15 months away at a familiar London venue.
- The streaming platform behind this event is making a serious push into combat sports.
- One fighter on the card signed a massive deal that has the boxing world talking.
Tyson Fury's comeback fight is nearly here. On April 11 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, the former heavyweight champion will take on Arslanbek Makhmudov in the main event of the latest Netflix live sports event. Here's all the information you need about the event.
How Can You Watch Fury vs. Makhmudov?
A week after DAZN tries to convince fight fans to spend $49.99 to watch Deontay Wilder vs. Dereck Chisora, Netflix drops another high-profile event on their streaming service. Something tells me the viewership for Fury-Makhmudov will dwarf most other fight events this year.
The entire main card streams globally on Netflix at no extra cost to subscribers. Prelims stream free on Tudum and Ring Magazine's social channels.
What Time Does the Fight Start?
American fight fans will need to tune in a little earlier to watch this one. The main card is expected to begin at 2 PM ET / 1 PM CT with main event ring walks at approximately 5 PM ET / 4 PM CT.
The prelims start at 11 AM ET / 10 AM CT on Tudum and Ring Magazine socials.

This card is very top heavy. Fury and Makhmudov in the main event and Conor Benn vs. Regis Prograis in the co-main event is the only other high-profile fight. That could hurt viewership, especially early in the show.

What Should People Know About Makhmudov?
Makhmudov is a big man. The 6-foot-5-inch Russian has a strong pro record, but he has only won three of his last five fights. He has stoppage losses to Agit Kabayel in December 2023 and another to Guido Vianello in August 2024.
If Fury is in form anywhere close to what we've come to expect from him, he could turn this into a boxing lesson. Fury is a massive favorite at 1/7 odds with Makhmudov listed at 15/1.
