Fury vs Makhmudov: Predictions from British boxing legends

Advertisements

After 15 months away from the ring, Tyson Fury will make his return to heavyweight boxing on Saturday against Arslanbek Makhmudov in London.

The two-time heavyweight world champion will face the Russian at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Fury, 37, will be aiming to bounce back from consecutive defeats by Oleksandr Usyk, which prompted him to briefly retire from the sport.

In Makhmudov, he faces a 6ft 6in opponent who boasts 19 stoppages in 21 wins, though he has also been beaten twice.

With a potential long-awaited fight against Anthony Joshua in the works – or another shot at a world title – can Fury make a winning return and force his way back into heavyweight contention?

Or will 36-year-old Makhmudov cause an almighty upset in north London?

BBC Sport spoke to figures from the boxing world to get their predictions for Saturday’s fight.
