Fury Demands ‘Battle of Britain’ with Joshua After Unanimous Win

Tyson Fury returned from a 16-month break to outclass Arslanbek Makhmudov by unanimous decision at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Judges scored it 120-108, 120-108 and 119-109 as Fury relied on his jab and movement to secure a comfortable victory. It was Fury’s first fight since a WBC title defence in December 2022 and follows two points defeats to Oleksandr Usyk. He looked sharp throughout as Makhmudov’s forward pressure played into Fury’s hands. After the final bell, Fury challenged Anthony Joshua — who watched ringside — to their long-awaited clash. He called it the “Battle of Britain” and urged Joshua to accept the fight next. Negotiations are said to be under way, with Croke Park in Dublin among the potential venues for an autumn showdown. If confirmed, it could be the biggest heavyweight event of 2026.
