  1. Predictions - 'Hard to bet against Fury'published at 20:39 BST 11 April

    Fury v Makhmudov

    Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva - British heavyweight champion

    "I think a points win for Fury. Fury has the ability to outbox him. He's had some time off, he should come back fresher."

    Regis Prograis - American fighter

    "For me, at one point in time I had Tyson Fury as the best heavyweight in the world. It's hard to bet against him. He might have lost a step or two, but I've still got Tyson Fury."

    Richard Riakporhe - British heavyweight

    "I believe Fury's going to win by TKO."

  2. Chisora decides against retirement?published at 20:38 BST 11 April

    Derek Chisora is sat ringside with fellow heavyweight Anthony Joshua for tonight's action.

    The 42-year-old had the 50th professional fight of his career last weekend when he lost to Deontay Wilder on points.

    Chisora said that it was his final fight of his career, but tonight he has told media that he wants a rematch against the Bronze Bomber.

  4. 'Best decision for me and my family'published at 20:35 BST 11 April

    Benn v Prograis

    A new chapter in Conor Benn's story begins on Saturday after leaving lifelong promoter Matchroom to sign for Zuffa Boxing.

    Benn tells BBC Sport what motivated that decision and about his ambition to challenge Ryan Garcia for the WBC welterweight title after this weekend's bout with Regis Prograis.

  5. How good is Benn?published at 20:34 BST 11 April

    The big mystery is that we still don't truly know Conor Benn's ceiling. He showed heaps of heart in that first scrap with Chris Eubank Jr and the rematch proved he can actually stick to a plan.

    But tonight might not give us the full answer either. Benn could look world-class tonight, and we’d still be wondering just how good he actually is.

    This isn't Regis Prograis' natural weight, and it certainly isn't the same Prograis who pushed Josh Taylor to the limit.

    There are rumours he might be carrying an injury and a worry that he is just looking for one final payday - though he’s denied that flatly.

    Only one man wanted to box in that fight… Jeamie TKV hugging more than punching…how was he the British champion?!

    How has Richard Riakporhe only just come up to heavyweight? He is massive, I have no idea how he made cruiserweight for so long.

  7. Benn wants to face 'liability' Garciapublished at 20:31 BST 11 April

    After jumping up two divisions to face Chris Eubank Jr across two bouts in 2025, Conor Benn is moving back down towards his regular welterweight division.

    Tonight's fight is taking place at a catchweight of 10st 10lb (3lb above the welterweight limit) but Benn has ambitions to challenge for a world title later this year.

    The Briton has his sights set on WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia if he comes through tonight's meeting with Regis Prograis successfully.

    Garcia won the title in February after two previous failed attempts following his return from a one-year suspension for doping.

    "I think Garcia's good for the sport of boxing, I think he's a character and he's entertaining, but he's also a liability," Benn, who served his own doping ban, told BBC Sport.

    "Garcia was next, that was scheduled in - I am mandatory number one position for Garcia.

    "Now if you're me, do you wait out until September or do you take a potential banana skin in the middle? I like rolling the dice and having a little bit of fun and keeping active."

    Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov are due out at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for 22:07 BST.

    The fighters in the co-main event - Conor Benn and Regis Prograis - should be making their ringwalks at 20:55.

  9. Benn v Prograis up nextpublished at 20:29 BST 11 April

    That early stoppage means we're moving through this card at a decent pace now.

    The co-main event between Conor Benn and Regis Prograis is up next.

  10. Riakporhe wins by stoppagepublished at 20:28 BST 11 April

    Tshikeva v Riakporhe

    It's all over.

    Richard Riakporhe puts his foot on the gas and the referee steps in with Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva shelling up under a barrage of punches on the ropes.

  12. Six big questions - Can Fury become a world champion again?published at 20:24 BST 11 April

    Fury v Makhmudov

    Fabio Wardley: "In the current state of the heavyweight division, I can't see how Fury becomes a world champion again. He would have to fight either me or Usyk - and do I think he can beat either of us? No.

    "If the titles get fractured - if Usyk is stripped of a belt for one reason or another - and Fury fights someone like Lawrence Okolie or Agit Kabayel for a vacant title, then yes, he can become champion."

    Natasha Jonas: "It will be difficult for anyone to regain a world championship at heavyweight if Usyk doesn't vacate. It all depends on him."

    Steve Bunce: "Anybody in the top 20 or so heavyweights could become a champion in the next 12 to 18 months. Fury can definitely become a champion again. If Usyk decides to give up one, two, or even all of his belts - then Fury would be a major contender."

    Joe Gallagher: "I think he can. It all depends on the sanctioning bodies and what happens with vacant belts and stripping champions. He's a two-time world champion - as is Anthony Joshua - and I'm sure the race is on between them to be a three-time champion."

  13. Predictions - 'cheeky little points victory'published at 20:23 BST 11 April

    Fury v Makhmudov

    David Haye - retired heavyweight

    "Tyson does take shots. He will want to get through the rounds, winning them but not taking any damage. Not get hit by Makhmudov, because as you get older your punch resistance doesn't get better."

    Moses Itauma - British heavyweight

    "Tyson Fury, easy. A cheeky little points victory."

    Shane McGuigan - boxing trainer

    "Makhmudov is tailor made for Fury. He's tall but he's straight up and down. He's a decent puncher but not ferocious. You can switch him off with a bit of head movement.

    "Fury isn't the best body puncher but works the body well and Makhmudov has been stopped to the body before. I don't think it will be early, but I think Fury will break him apart and Makhmudov is vulnerable enough that Fury should be able to take him out late on."

  14. Hearn and Eubank keeping an eye on Benn?published at 20:21 BST 11 April

    You're never too far from a potential enemy in the world of boxing.

    Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn and Chris Eubank Jr are both at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight and both have a special interest in Conor Benn, who is fighting in the co-main event.

    Benn and Eubank fought twice last year and Hearn and Benn had a public fallout earlier this year after he left Matchroom to sign a one-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing.

    Get the popcorn ready.

  16. Makhmudov tailor-made but Fury should retire if he losespublished at 20:10 BST 11 April

    Arslan Makhmudov is a very well-picked opponent for a number of reasons. He looks and sounds the part – a strong, aggressive and powerful Russian - but stylistically he's kind of perfect for Tyson Fury.

    What Makhmudov does is relatively simple. He lacks agility and punch variation. Don't get me wrong, if he clocks you, it hurts and you will feel it - but for Fury, someone who's always on the move and hard to pin down, an opponent who is a bit heavier on his feet is the right fit.

    If I were in Makhmudov's corner, I'd say rush him - not blindly, but get close, get on his chest and get in front of him. Makhmudov is a big, weighty, strong guy and he needs to use that. At range, 100 out of 100 times he will lose - Fury will just pick him off and break him down.

    His best bet is to get close and just keep working. Body, arms, shoulders, head - wherever. Just keep working for 12 rounds and see if that long lay-off takes a toll on Tyson.

    There's always that concern about complacency, and we saw with Francis Ngannou that Fury switched off and got caught. At this stage of Fury's career, there's no space for error. He has to get it right. But I think he'll have learned his lesson there.

    Tshikeva v Riakporhe

    Prior to Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva's last bout, the British heavyweight sat down with BBC Sport to tell his remarkable family story.

    The 32-year-old, and his father Makasi, piece together a truly incredible tale of power, betrayal and survival which reads more like a political thriller than a family tree.

    Tshikeva v Riakporhe

    Speaking of Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva, he's up next making the first defence of his British heavyweight title against Richard Riakporhe.

    TKV won the belt in November when professional boxing returned to BBC linear television for the first time in two decades.

    And that means we've got the highlights for you to enjoy!

  20. Huni beats Clarke by majority decisionpublished at 20:01 BST 11 April

    It was a competitive fight between Justis Huni and Frazer Clarke, who both entered this fight on the back of defeats.

    Huni, who suffered his first professional loss to Fabio Wardley last time out, started strong but allowed Clarke to get himself back into the fight in the middle rounds.

    Huni ended the fight strong and probably claimed the last two rounds, which ultimately helped him land a majority decision win.

    It was a close fight with one judge scoring it a draw, and Clarke certainly looked better in there tonight then he did a few months ago in his loss to Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva.
