Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov tickets on sale for less than cinema prices
Boxing fans looking to catch Tyson Fury's ring return can now snap up tickets for less than the price of a trip to the cinema.Seats for the former two-time heavyweight champion's bout against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11 have plummeted to just 10 on resale platform Viagogo.That's a remarkable drop from around 55 for the cheapest resale options just a week ago on March 25.Those bargain basement seats are tucked away at the very back of the Spurs ground with restricted views, while ringside spots will still set you back over 2,000.There's still a shedload of availability for anyone wanting to attend, with thousands of seats remaining up for grabs.Just over a fortnight ago, close to 12,000 tickets were still on the market.However, reports insist that sales have been slow.Spencer Brown, who serves as lead promoter for Fury's comeback and has worked in a managerial capacity with the fighter for years, recently secured his official British promoter's licence from the British Boxing Board of Control.For those preferring official channels, Ticketmaster still has seats available starting at just under 44, with ringside options priced below 2,000.The Netflix-streamed clash marks Fury's first outing since suffering consecutive defeats to pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk last year.It's also his return following what was his fifth retirement announcement from the sport, which he reversed back in January.The Wythenshawe warrior previously packed out the Spurs stadium in December 2022 when he defended his WBC title against Derek Chisora.His Russian opponent Makhmudov brings a 21-2 record with 19 knockouts to his name, having last fought David Allen in October 2025.Fury will be hoping a vintage showing against the fellow big man could tempt Usyk into a shock trilogy bout.Not everyone is convinced this comeback will go smoothly, though.Fury's father John has voiced serious worries about his son's condition, telling Playbook Boxing he won't even be attending the fight.John Fury claimed his son has been "gone" since the Deontay Wilder trilogy, with the final bout taking place back in October 2021.He said: "Tyson has been gone since the Deontay Wilder fights; they finished him. Wilder completely done him. He's not got a leg underneath him. He took a lot away from Tyson. Makhmudov is a problem for Tyson. I am the first one to say it."He added: "My relationship with Tyson is destroyed. Boxing destroyed it completely."Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
