Tyson Fury enters as a heavy 83.5% trader favorite in his heavyweight comeback against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, reflecting his vast experience as a former two-time world champion despite a 16-month layoff following back-to-back decision losses to elite Oleksandr Usyk. Makhmudov (21-2, 19 KOs) brings 90% knockout power and recent activity, including stoppages over lesser contenders, but lacks Fury's proven chin resilience, footwork, and tactical edge in high-stakes bouts. Clean ceremonial weigh-ins Friday—with Fury heavier at the scales—and tense face-offs highlighted no injury concerns or withdrawals, bolstering sentiment toward Fury's likely late dominance or unanimous decision, though Makhmudov's early aggression poses upset risk via power punching.
