Tyson Fury hopes for better display than ‘shocking’ Tottenham on boxing return

Tyson Fury was on top form at the final press conference before his boxing return on Saturday and even took aim at “shocking” Premier League strugglers Tottenham.

Fury will step out to fight in the UK for the first time since 2022 when he takes on Russian heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after 16 months outside the ring.

During an entertaining half an hour media activity inside The Pelligon in Canary Wharf on Thursday night, Fury claimed to be the “Money Man” of the division and insisted his rivals will be “begging” to fight him given his star quality as the latest sporting athlete to feature live on Netflix.

Fury, who also used the final press conference to promote the second season of his Netflix series, turned his focus towards relegation-threatened Tottenham during the final ember of the ‘Gypsy King’ circus.

Spurs, who play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and are the ninth richest football club in the world, are currently on a 13-match winless run in the Premier League and embroiled in a first relegation battle for 29 years.

“It has been four years since I’ve been boxing in the UK,” Fury started.

“I’ve been out in Saudi Arabia, which was fantastic for me. It was unbelievable.

“Yeah, to come back to England and fight here, in a stadium at Tottenham Hotspur, let’s hope I do a lot better than Tottenham are doing right now because they are shocking at the minute!

“But it’s an unbelievable experience you know to have 60,000 cheering fans for you on Saturday night.”

Given Tottenham have only won two home league matches during a difficult campaign, Fury will hope to avoid the familiar tale of a home loss in N17 this season.
