The "Gypsy King" has officially chosen the arena for his long-awaited return. Tyson Fury, the former world heavyweight champion, will make his comeback fight on April 11 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – the home arena of London's Tottenham.
The opponent of the 37-year-old Briton, as reported, will be Canadian heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov – the holder of the WBA Inter-Continental belt and the sixth-ranked in the WBA.
Initially, Fury's team considered the legendary "Old Trafford" in Manchester as the main venue. However, at the last moment, it was decided to move the fight to North London. The key reason was Tottenham's schedule: on April 11, the "Spurs" are playing away against Sunderland, so the 64,000-seat arena is completely free for the boxing show.
