Tyson Fury vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov | Netflix - 11 April 2026

[golden_labrador]

It is but also very weird that just about a month ago (or whenever the big presser was) Fury and Fury seemed to be close.

Has the rift happened since, was that bravado in the presser simply bravado and putting up a face. Unfortunately, we get so many lies and so many different faces - when they are apparently being genuine - it is hard to believe.

the Tyson camp probably wisely pushed John out to the fringes and he wasn't reacting well to it. I'm sure they'll be fine afterwards

Fake beef from John no doubt, maybe ticket sales are bad.

See the car rolling up on fight night, door opens

Adam Smith goes: hes here its JOHN FURRRRYYYYYYYYYY farther of the gypsie king tyson fury

[Spud MK2]

I laughed at the idea of that happening and 5 mins later thought, you know what, they probably will do just that.

Maybe it'll start being a British Sales Gimmick. Everybody's Dad hates 'em until fight night

[keithmoonhangover]

Adam Smith has is saying that all is not well in Fury's training camp. Surely he's still got enough left to beat this big lump.

[Twinkle Toes]

Who's even training Fury, last I read he said he didnt need one.

[joshj909]

He's fallen out with himself. Fighting for attention with the man in the mirror

[Spud MK2]

I definitely think tyson is going to have a almighty scare

[Grilling Machine]

I keep thinking that, but Turki still wants the AJ fight so it'll be a Fury ref. Mak doesn't just need a knockdown, he needs it to be unsalvageable.

Same goes for Itauma-Franklin.

[forcefraser]

Makka is gonna smack Fury up. He's getting on now and is way past his best

[bmw hector]

Nah, Mak is just so slow, ponderous and open, even a diminished Fury will have too much for him. A comfy stoppage just after half way.

[Controversial]

I would imagine Makh will be in decent shape and up for it, upsetting the apple cart would be like a lottery win for him. I would expect Fury to win but depends how much he has left after his layoff. Listening to his dad he seems to think he’s past his best.

I think his dad just having one of his mardies.

[rhino222]

im going to say it....

If makhmudov is still there after 6 rounds he is in with a big chance of upsetting the apple cart. Fury is not the force he was and he doesnt punch as hard as he thinks. Add to that the amount of times he has been dropped when a lot nearer his prime, he may well not have the recovery powers he used to have when he was tagged previously.

[jamesmcdonnell]

I agree.

Fury has always been relatively easy to hit, and has relied on his powers of revovery.

At pushing 40, anything could happen.

As you say, he has never been a devastating puncher

His balls as well.

Chat's taken a turn for the John.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Joe Gallagher and Frazer Clarke get straight down to business

After losing a disappointing decision to Jeamie TKV in November, Frazer Clarke decided to take himself out of his comfort zone.

The 34-year-old heavyweight left his long-time coach, Angel Fernandez, and called The Ring’s 2015 Trainer of the Year, Joe Gallagher.

Clarke was given no special privileges or extra leeway but threw himself into life at at Manchester’s famous Champs Camp gym.

As the 2020 Olympic champion went through the process of getting fit and settling in to his new surroundings, Gallagher watched and began putting together a plan.

The getting to know you period is over and the two are in the midst of serious business.

On April 11, Clarke (9-2-1, 7 KOs) will box Australian contender Justis Huni (12-1, 7 KOs) on the undercard of the fight between returning two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov.

Many wrote Clarke off following his loss to TKV but Gallagher told The Ring that he entered into their partnership with no preconceived ideas or expectations.

“When Frazer said to me, “What do you think of my fights?” I said, “I've never watched you fight”. I just dealt with him as a blank piece of canvas, as someone that's come in the gym,” Gallagher said.

“I analysed what he was good at, what he wasn't, what he could and couldn't do and then we went to work about it. It was only a couple of weeks ago I watched his first fight with Fabio Wardley [March 2024 split draw] and thought he won that. I agreed with the Howard Foster scorecard, 115-112, but I felt there was a moment in the fight he switched off. He switched off for them two rounds which cost him.

“He got a count but he finished strong - I think he won the last four rounds of the fight - so there is work there that you can do with him.”

The first-round knockout defeat Clarke suffered in his October 2024 rematch with Wardley could be put down as the type of sudden, shocking result that can happen when big heavyweights trade shots but the loss to TKV left Clarke in a precarious position.

Many would have expected him to take his time, get used to life with Gallagher and wait for the right opportunity to get his name back in the mix. Neither Clarke or Gallagher think that way.

Rather than taking the safe option, Clarke leapt at the opportunity to make up every inch of the ground he lost to TKV by fighting Huni and Gallagher is onboard with his way of thinking.

“Everyone can have a warm-up but my first fight with Lawrence Okolie was the world title in Poland. Matthew Macklin was against Wayne Elcock. Scott Quigg was the British title,” he said.

“It doesn't really bother me. First fight, warm-up fight? None of that. If a fighter can fight and he's good, then that's it. Justis Huni, a former amateur, the same as Frazer. They should have met at some stage but he's a good fighter and if Frazer Clarke wants to be where he needs to be, then that's it.

“I've not listened to no outside noise, people's opinions of what he should or shouldn't be doing now in his career. I'm only going off what I see in the gymnasium. I'm happy and he's doing everything that I've asked of him. Huni is number 15 in the WBC at the moment now. It's a big fight and a big step up for him.”

[Ruthless-RKO]

Justis Huni concentrating on himself, rather than Frazer Clarke

Boxing at world level is a psychological test as much as a physical one.

Lots of fighters reach world class and immediately start spending more time worrying about what their opponent does than thinking about how to implement the skills that have earned them their own opportunity. In June, Justis Huni stepped up to world level and into the ring with current WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley.

Fighting in front of a large pro-Wardley crowd in Ipswich, England, the 26-year-old Australian boxed as though he believed he belonged from the first bell.

The Wardley right hand that brought the fight to a sudden ending in the tenth round may have robbed Huni of an impressive victory but it hasn’t affected the 26-year-old Australian’s confidence.

On April 11, Huni (12-1, 7 KOs) returns to Britain. He will fight 2020 Olympic bronze medallist, Frazer Clarke (9-2-1, 7 KOs), at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The fight will take place as part of the undercard preceding the return of two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury against Arslanbek Makhmudov, broadcast by Netflix.

Huni hasn’t spent a minute worrying about how Clarke will approach the fight.

“I'm not too sure but I know my game plan,” Huni told The Ring.

"I know how I come out, how I fight. It's just going to be the same thing. I'm just going to come out there, do me and see how it turns out.”

Huni and Clarke find themselves in extremely similar situations.

After the Wardley defeat, Huni parted ways with his long-time trainer Mark Wilson and appointed Keri Fiu. In November, Fiu tragically passed away and he's now training under Josh Arnold.

In November, Clarke lost a decision to Jeamie TKV in their vacant British title fight and then left his trainer Angel Fernandez to link up with The Ring’s 2015 Trainer of the Year, Joe Gallagher.

At 34, Clarke has less time on his hands than Huni and will know that another defeat would put him in a difficult position. Huni wasn’t surprised that Clarke leapt at the opportunity to step straight into such a high risk fight.

“I didn't even think twice about it,” Huni said. “It is what it is. I told my manager I didn't care which opponent he got me, just get me back out there.

“This is the fight I've got in front of me and I'm looking forward to coming over there and showcasing myself again.”

In the not-too-distant past, two name heavyweights coming off high profile defeats would have been steered in completely different directions until they were fully embedded with their new trainers and the money or prize on offer meant it made sense to match them. That Huni and Clarke are fighting is a sign of how things have changed.

“It's just big fight after big fight,” Huni said. “I'm just lucky to be amongst it and have my name thrown around in the mix.”

[stujones]

Got to give Big Frase his due - Huni would probably be a pretty warm favourite vs Jamie TKV - so hats off to Frase for giving it a go. Wins this and he probably one fight away from being right in the mix.

I cannot excuse his performance vs Jamie TKV - who yes I should be giving more credit too. However, as noted in the article - many people thought he edged the first fight vs Wardley who is now generally regarded as the 3rd best Heavyweight in the world (some say 2nd).

Turki at it again.

[Taansend]

I'm 99% certain that we'll see a Eubanks type reunion on live telly just before Fury's ringwalk.
