Tyson Fury undercard announced as Conor Benn features
Tyson Fury's comeback fight will feature an undercard with Conor Benn and multiple heavyweight bouts set for April 11.
Tyson Fury is scheduled to make his highly anticipated return to boxing in April, headlining an event at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against Arslanbek Makhmudov. This match marks Fury's first fight in 16 months following a brief retirement and two losses to Oleksandr Usyk. The heavyweight clash is set to draw significant attention as Fury looks to regain his winning form against a formidable opponent.
Supporting the main event, Conor Benn is poised to make his debut under Zuffa Boxing on the same card, where he will face former world champion Regis Prograis. This matchup comes after Benn's recent departure from promoter Eddie Hearn and is expected to be a lucrative venture for the boxer, with earnings projected around Β£10 million. The inclusion of Benn in this undercard adds to the event's appeal, potentially drawing in a wider audience.
Additionally, the card will feature other notable heavyweight contests, including Jeamie TKV vs. Richard Riakporhe for the British heavyweight title and a match between Frazer Clarke and Justis Hunni. These bouts promise to enhance the excitement surrounding Fury's return, showcasing rising talent and the competitive nature of the heavyweight division as several fighters aim for redemption and recognition in their careers.
