The fight streams on Netflix, their first UK boxing broadcast, tied to a Fury documentary they’re producing. Netflix and Fury are currently in production on the hit series At Home with the Furys. The second season is scheduled to premiere this spring. No venue announced.
No undercard. Only a date and a streaming deal that makes this appear like promotional filler, not serious competition. Netflix has 325 million subscribers but no history staging fights from Britain. The timing lines up with their documentary schedule, not with competitive sense.
Fury hasn’t fought within the UK since stopping Dereck Chisora in 2022, an evening where he looked sharp enough to walk away clean. He didn’t, and the Usyk fights stripped him of any claim at heavyweight’s top.
Why This Fight Gets Made
Fury gets a payday and a probability to say momentum without risking his chin. If he wins cleanly, he can push for an additional significant fight through the identical Saudi-backed structure. If he looks slow or gets tagged, the Usyk losses get confirmed as the beginning of his decline, not a foul weekend.
Makhmudov gets a reputation on his record and exposure he wouldn’t earn otherwise. He’s dangerous against opponents who don’t move, but ineffective when forced to box. Fury, even diminished, knows how you can feint, control range, and make opponents miss. Makhmudov will need Fury to face there and trade, and Fury doesn’t trade unless something is badly improper.
“Well it’s official I’m back doing what i really like to do,” the 37-year-old Fury said on Instagram. “Blessed by God🙏 @turki #themacisback”
What Happens After
If Fury wins and appears competent, he’ll angle for an additional fight, probably under the identical promotional umbrella. If he struggles or gets hurt, this becomes a farewell tour disguised as a comeback. The true query is whether or not Netflix’s audience cares a few heavyweight fight with no belt and no stakes. Fury’s name still carries weight within the UK, however the shine wore off after Usyk.
This fight exists because Fury couldn’t stay retired and since Netflix needed boxing content to support their documentary. Whether it delivers anything beyond that is determined by how much Fury has left, and we won’t know until April.
