The undercard for Tyson Fury vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov has been completed.
Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) returns to action following a 16-month hiatus from boxing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11. Standing in the way of his triumphant return to action is Arslanbek Makhmudov. The 36-year-old Russian (21-2, 19 KOs) defeated David Allen by unanimous decision in Sheffield last June.
Conor Benn’s co-main event slot against Regis Prograis was announced last week following news that he had signed with Zuffa Boxing. Jeamie Tshikeva and Richard Riakporhe will battle it out for the British title, and Justis Huni vs. Frazer Clarke offers another intriguing matchup in the division.
Tshikeva (9-2, 5 KOs) claimed the vacant British title in a narrow split-decision win against Clarke last November. Riakporhe (19-1, 15 KOs) has been in good form since moving up from cruiserweight after a WBO world title fight loss to Chris Billam-Smith in June 2024. The 36-year-old Londoner handed Tommy Welch his first loss by second-round stoppage last November on the Chris Eubank Jr.-Conor Benn undercard.
Clarke (9-2-1, 7 KOs) comes off the loss to Tshikeva. Huni (21-1, 7 KOs) will also head into the bout following defeat. The 26-year-old Australian fell to a tenth-round stoppage against Fabio Wardley at Portman Road Stadium in Ipswich last June.
Lower down on the card, Troy Williamson (22-4-1, 16 KOs) will lock horns with a German contender, Simon Zachenhuber (28-0, 17 KOs), over 12 rounds at super middleweight. Mikie Tallon (12-0, 2 KOs) welcomes American Cristopher Rios (11-3, 7 KOs) in the flyweight division. Felix Cash (16-1, 10 KOs) meets Liam O’Hare (13-2, 4 KOs) at 168 pounds, and Elliot Whale (13-0, 8 KOs) vs. Tom Hill (12-4, 3 KOs) also joins the card.
