Tyson Fury will return from retirement to battle Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11, live on Netflix from inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London. Both combatants were on hand today for their official kickoff press conference, which you can watch in the embedded video above.
Check out their first staredown below:
Fury has a weird thing for tickling opponents.
“The Bible says tomorrow is not a gift,” Fury said. “Tomorrow ain’t promised. Tomorrow is a mystery. So we have to live for today. And me living for that day, I made my mind up there and then that I’m going to come back to boxing. Because it’s something that I love and I’m passionate about. And that I’ve always been in love with. And there is no tomorrow to put it off to. So that’s why I’m back today for this big fight.”
“I was on holiday with my family in Thailand for Christmas, just to get away from the rain. Sick of the rain, it was depressing me,” Fury said about hearing the news of Anthony Joshua. “And then I hear all that bad news that’s gone on. And I thought, you know what? Life is very, very short and very precious and very fragile. Anything could happen at any given moment. And you should never, never put things off until tomorrow or next year or next week.”
