Tyson Fury has increased his training efforts for his upcoming return to the ring by treating patrons at a bar to pints of Guinness in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. The Gypsy King is scheduled to face Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11, marking his first fight since losing to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024.
Amid his comeback preparations, the 37-year-old paused to surprise bar-goers on St. Patrick’s Day by announcing he would buy everyone a pint of Dublin-brewed Guinness. In a video shared by Ring Magazine, Fury can be seen addressing the crowd with a microphone, eliciting chants of “There’s only one Tyson Fury” and cheers upon his generous offer.
With less than a month until his comeback bout following a year away from the ring, Fury aims to revitalize interest in boxing after hinting at retirement post his defeat to Usyk. He expressed his motivation to rejuvenate the sport, emphasizing the need for his active participation to elevate boxing’s excitement level.
In anticipation of his fight against Makhmudov, Fury revealed he would be self-training without a coach by his side. His opponent, a Russian fighter based in Canada, has an impressive record of 21 wins in 23 professional fights, with 19 victories by knockout. Standing at 6ft. 5in., Makhmudov poses a new challenge for Fury, who will engage in a streamed match on Netflix on April 11.
