Tyson Fury defeats Arslanbek Makhmudov

In his first fight back since a brief hiatus, Tyson Fury displayed his trademark defensive skill and ring generalship to comfortably outbox the heavy-hitting Makhmudov.

The victory has reignited talk of a clash with Anthony Joshua, with promoter Turki Alalshikh reportedly eager to finalize the deal.

While Joshua was present at ringside, he offered a blunt assessment of Fury's performance and has yet to sign his half of the contract.

The heavyweight division now waits to see if the decade-long rivalry will finally culminate in a championship bout later this year.
