Arslanbek Makhmudov’s “objective” is to send Tyson Fury back into retirement “for real”, says his promoter Camille Estephan.
Fury is preparing for a comeback fight against Makhmudov on Saturday April 11, with a venue to be confirmed.
The 37-year-old British star has posted regular videos on social media, vowing to dominate the heavyweight division, but the heavy-handed Makhmudov wants to ruin these ambitious plans with a humbling defeat.
His promoter Estephan told Sky Sports: “Our goal and objective is send him to retirement, this time for real!”
But Fury insists his preparations are on track ahead of his first fight since a rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk last December.

Speaking on his official Instagram, Fury said: “Just finished a lovely three-mile run, nice and quick in the sun.
“Boxing later, probably do about 12-15 rounds of boxing. Minimum 1000 sit ups.
