    Fury v Makhmudov

    David Haye
    Former world heavyweight champion on Netflix

    A very positive start from Makhmudov, he doesn't look bothered by the magnitude of this fight.

    Fury v Makhmudov

    Makhmudov likes to come out quickly and that's exactly what he does. It's not pretty but Makhmudov ducks his head, throws a left and connects with an overhand right as Fury is backed on to the ropes.

    Fury is known for his good footwork and should be able to escape as Makhmudov is just coming forward in a straight line, but he's struggling to get out of danger.

    Makhmudov keeps gambling on the same shots and it's disrupting Fury.

    Netflix are broadcasting their first boxing event in the United Kingdom and with more than 325 million subscribers worldwide, Tyson Fury is likely about to fight in front of his biggest audience ever.

    The boxing giant and the streaming giant feel like a perfect match. Fury even rocked up this week in a suit matching the Netflix brand colours. It’s no coincidence, either - the second season of ‘At Home With The Furys’ drops tomorrow.

  12. Predictions - 'dangerous fight for Tyson'published at 22:00 BST 11 April

    Fury v Makhmudov

    Fabio Wardley - WBO heavyweight world champion

    "I am going for Fury on points. It may not be particularly easy but I do think he wins by a pretty clean and comfortable decision."

    Joe Gallagher - boxing trainer

    "All heavyweight opponents are dangerous. Stylistically, though, I think Makhmudov is made for Fury.

    "He comes in straight lines and Fury's boxing brain and ability should be too much. If he stays switched on, I expect Fury to win it on points or a round nine or 10 stoppage."

    Dillian Whyte - heavyweight

    "It's a dangerous fight for Tyson early because Makhmudov is a big guy and a hard puncher. I think he should rush Tyson early and that's his best chance. If he lets Tyson get in a rhythm, get his feet back and start jabbing then he will outbox him and stop him in eight rounds."

    Prediction - Fury

    Now it's all about Tyson Fury.

    'Bring Me To Life' by Evanescence rings around the stadium as fireworks shoot off the roof. Fury reaches the platform midway through his walk and he turns up the party with 'Give Me Everything' by Pitbull.

    Preferred the previous song but each to their own.

    Over to Tyson Fury.

    He is paying tribute to the late Ricky Hatton tonight. Fury has Hatton's name on the back of his shorts. A stadium announcer asks everyone to be upstanding Hatton's walkout song 'Blue Moon' plays.

    A lovely nod to one of the great British boxers.

  17. How has Makhmudov been this week?published at 21:55 BST 11 April

    If the bright lights and hype are getting to Arslanbek Makhmudov, he’s doing a great job of hiding it. The Russian - who prepped for this by wrestling a bear - has looked almost bored by the whole thing.

    While Tyson Fury was busy roasting him at the presser, Makhmudov was scrolling through his phone like he was waiting for a bus.

    Then he ended the event by picking Fury up and giving him a massive hug.

    Following the brotherly vibes we saw with Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora recently, these heavyweights are being strangely lovely to each other.

    Arslanbek Makhmudov is first to make the walk.

    No music to accompany the Russian. It's just a very obnoxious air raid siren ringing out.

    Makhmudov is not one to be flashy and this ringwalk tells the story.
