Tyson Fury is a HUGE odds-on favourite to beat Arslanbek Makhmudov as Gypsy King makes FIFTH boxing comeback

Although Tyson Fury's career has been nothing short of illustrious, his repeated retirements and comebacks continue to divide opinion among fans and pundits alike. 

That debate has resurfaced ahead of his April 11 bout with Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Is this the latest chapter in Fury’s pursuit of heavyweight supremacy - or simply another lucrative return to the ring? 

Whatever the motivation behind his latest comeback, one thing is certain - Fury’s return has already generated significant buzz. Fresh off this week’s press conference to formally launch the showdown in April, anticipation is beginning to build.

With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the head-to-head odds currently on offer with Sky Bet for what promises to be a fascinating night in north London.

At the time of writing, Fury has opened as a huge favourite to reign supreme, with the former lineal heavyweight champion priced at a short 1/6 according to Sky Bet.

The ‘Gypsy King’ must first confront the lingering shadow of his last two outings — back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.

Those losses not only stalled his momentum but also served as a rare blemish on an otherwise glittering résumé, with Usyk still the only man to have beaten Fury in the professional ranks.

Conversely, his opponent Arslanbek Makhmudov comes into the fight on the back of two consecutive wins, having lost two of his three bouts prior to that. Despite his recent form, he enters as a 4/1 outsider to upset the applecart.

Lastly, for those anticipating a draw, that is the widest result in the market with Sky Bet at 16/1 odds.

Sky Bet odds for Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov:

Tyson Fury 1/6

Arslanbek Makhmudov 4/1

Draw 16/1
