Boxing: Tyson Fury vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov

Analysis

Fury looks in the best shape he's been in years — injury-free, motivated, and fighting at home in front of 80,000 at Tottenham. That's a dangerous combination when you're dealing with someone of his caliber. Makhmudov brings serious power with 19 knockouts in 23 fights, and heavyweight boxing can change in a split second. But Fury has been in there with Wilder, Usyk, and every elite heavyweight of this era. The experience gap is massive. Fury's reach and movement should keep him out of danger early while he finds his rhythm. Once he settles in, his jab and ring IQ take over. Makhmudov will have his moments, but this feels like a step too far up in class. I'm backing Fury here. The home crowd, the motivation after that Usyk loss, and his technical superiority should see him through. Just need to survive any early storms.
