Here’s everything you need to know for Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov, including latest odds, popular bets, start time, how to watch and expert insight.
Fury vs Makhmudov: Who is the favourite?
Tyson Fury heads into tonight’s fight as a clear odds-on favourite against Arslanbek Makhmudov.
Latest odds (as of Saturday 11th April):
- Tyson Fury – 1/5
- Arslanbek Makhmudov – 9/2
- Draw – 25/1
Despite back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, bookmakers still heavily favour Fury’s experience, movement and ring IQ over Makhmudov’s raw power.
However, the price reflects expectation rather than certainty — with many punters wary of Fury’s inactivity and potential slow start.

Betting Tips & Fight Prediction
Fury remains the superior technical boxer, but this is far from a routine comeback.
Makhmudov’s power makes him dangerous early, particularly if Fury starts slowly after time away and two tough defeats to Usyk.
However, if Fury settles into the fight, his size, movement and experience should take over in the later rounds.
Value angle: Fury via Decision (3/1)
Popular play: Over 8.5 rounds (6/5)
Risk/reward punt: Makhmudov Rounds 1-6 (16/1)
