Tyson Fury's return to the boxing ring will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The former heavyweight champion's April 11 bout against Arslanbek Makhmudov was announced last month, but the venue wasn't revealed until this week.
Fury, a 37-year-old Manchester, England, native, hasn't fought since losing back-to-back matches in 2024. He lost his title belts in a split decision against Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk that May in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, then dropped a rematch to Usyk in a unanimous decision at the same venue seven months later.
Those were the first two career defeats for Fury (34-2-1).
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was the site of Fury's last title defense, on Dec. 3, 2022, against fellow Briton Derek Chisora. Fury won his next fight, vs. former UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou, in Riyadh on Oct. 28, 2023, before taking the two defeats the following year.
Makhmudov (21-2) will be fighting in England for the second straight time. The 36-year-old Russian defeated David Allen by unanimous decision in Sheffield last October.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in addition to being home of a Premier League soccer team, plays host to two NFL games per season.
The Fury-Makhmudov fight will be shown on Netflix.
