Tyson Fury returns to the ring this weekend as he ends 16 months of inactivity against the heavy-handed Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The last time Fury competed was December 2024, but the former world champion endured his second loss when he was beaten by Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch after the Ukrainian had also won their first battle earlier in the same year.
If successful against Makhmudov, Fury could target a showdown with Anthony Joshua with the longtime rivals still linked to a huge battle with each other.
Fury’s comeback has got the heavyweight division buzzing again, but one fighter who is not big on the 37-year old’s credentials is American contender, Andy Ruiz.
In 2019. Ruiz shocked the world when he stopped Joshua, but his world title reign was short-lived as he lost an immediate rematch to the popular Brit.
When asked about who he thinks is the most overrated boxer today, Ruiz looked to his own division when providing his answer.
“I don't know, there's a few of them that I want to say, but I don't want to put them on blast,” said Ruiz when speaking to Casino.org .
“I'm gonna say Tyson Fury because they hype him up so much but to me, I don't even think he's a crazy fighter. Yes, he's done a lot in the sport. But I feel like the only person that he really beat up that was good was Wilder. So yeah, I'm gonna say Tyson Fury.”
The WBO world heavyweight title is on the line for Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois on May 9, only on DAZN PPV. Buy as a one-off PPV or included, along with Usyk vs Verhoeven (May 23), with a DAZN Ultimate Tier subscription.
