Tyson Fury ended his retirement a little less under a year after announcing he would be hanging up his gloves for good. It’s a common theme, really, as there have been several boxers who have returned to the ring after announcing plans to walk away. And who can blame them? hey can still command big paydays and as long as people like Jake Paul are forking over the cash to take part in circus fights, there will be plenty of aging combatants lining up to collect a heft paycheck. But that’s not necessarily the case with Fury because he isn’t taking part in exhibition bouts, he’s really putting it on the line. That said, it’s not like he is in the prime of his fighting career and, as we saw last week during the fight between Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora, there is an expiration date when it comes to being able to fight at the highest level. It’s something that’s not lost on “The Gypsy King” after he acknowledged that it was troubling to see that aforementioned Heavyweight showdown. Fury is 37 years old and it’s important to note that the only two defeats of his career came at the hands of current Heavyweight kingpin, Oleksandr Usyk, which is nothing to hang his head low over.

Many were surprised when it was announced Fury would be making his comeback against Makhmudov because while he does have skills, he doesn’t exactly carry a big-value name that will prompt fans to rush to their screens. Makhmudov has just nine years as a pro and has amassed a record of 21-2 with 19 knockouts so his hands are as heavy as they come. A win over Fury would give his career a huge boost and set him up for a Heavyweight title shot. But he will have to be on point because Fury is sharp, he’s fast and he hits very, very hard. There won’t be a huge size advantage here for “Gypsy King,” but the skill and experience advantages are both in his favor. Nevertheless, Makhmudov has a huge opportunity at hand and he isn’t about to roll over for anyone.

How The ‘Prelims’ Look:

Simon Zachenhuber (28-0) and Pawel August (17-0) will collide in Super Middleweight bout in a battle of undefeated southpaws. Zachenhuber is the far more accomplished prospect and is currently ranked No. 6 by WBO and has 15 wins by way of knockout while August only has three.

Recent Zuffa Boxing signee, Breyon Gorham (21-0), and Eduardo Costa (12-5) will clash in a Super Lightweight bout. Gorham has 11 wins by way of knockout, while Costa has dropped four of his last five fights so he needs a win here in the worse way.

Mikie Tallon (12-0) vs. Leandro Blanc (8-4) will face off in an intriguing Flyweight bout. Fighting out of Liverpool, Tallon is a talented prospect on his way up but only has two wins by way of knockout. Blanc, meanwhile, is in desperate need of a win since he has lost four straight.

Felix Cash (16-1) will duke it out against Liam O’Hare (13-2) in a Middleweight bout. Cash is the former British Commonwealth champ Cash and returns after nearly two years on the sidelines. As for O’Hare, he was last seen losing to Taz Nadeem via TKO in the opening frame.

Rounding things out will be Hector Lozano (3-7-1) and Sultan Almohammed (2-0) as they face off in a Light Heavyweight bout, while Elliot Whale (13-0) vs. Tom Hill (12-4) kick things off in a Super Lightweight bout.

Interest Level: 7/10

Benn (25) will return to the same venue where he avenged his rival Chris Eubank Jr. five months ago in search of his second straight win when he goes up against Prograis. Benn is an explosive pressure fighter who is young, fast, aggressive, and carries heavy hands. As we saw in his dominant performance against Eubank Jr., if he lands you will take a fall. He has an overall record of 24-1 with 10 knockouts and now he is chasing a world title shot at 147 lbs, though this fight will go down at 150 pounds. A lot has been made about Zuffa paying him $15 million for one fight, which has left several UFC fighters unhappy, as well as Eddie Hearn. But as Benn has stated numerous times it was simply an offer he couldn’t refuse, and to be honest no one can blame him for taking the money.

As for Prograis, the 37-year-old former two-division world champion is a southpaw with legitimate knockout power as 24 of his 30 wins have come by way of knockout. He is coming off a win over Joseph Diaz after losses to Devin Haney and Jack Catterall. He is moving up to 150pounds for this fight and has the chance for a huge upset here if he can get a win over Benn. That said, Eddie Hearn has gone on record to say that Prograis taking this fight isn’t the smartest since he is coming into the bout with a hurt hand and is simply a soft ball being tossed at Benn. Prograis, obviously,s is ready to prove the naysayers wrong.

TKV is trained by famed trainer Ben Davison and is coming off a career-best upset last November by outlasting Frazer Clarke in a grueling fight to claim the British title. He’s tough, durable, and improving after every fight. As for Riakporhe he is a former British Cruiserweight champion that made the move up to Heavyweight with two knockout wins. He’s obviously a dangerous puncher with solid amateur pedigree and experience.

Frazer Clarke and Justis Hunni will tango in what should be a captivating Heavyweight bout. Clarke is an Olympic bronze medalist and is on the comeback trail after a tough loss to the aforementioned TKV. Overall, he’s an athletic big man with good boxing skills. As for Huni, the Australian prospect dominated Fabio Wardley before getting stopped in the tenth round with a crushing right hand (see it here), the first and only loss of his career. Now, the technically sound big man is looking for a big bounce back performance.

Enjoy the fights!
