Tyson Fury dominated Arslanbek Makhmudov, winning by unanimous decision with scorecards of 120-108, 120-108, and 119-109. Makhmudov employed an aggressive forward-pressure strategy, throwing looping punches and immediately clinching, which was viewed as his only viable approach given Fury's significant advantages in speed and conditioning. While Makhmudov did land some shots, Fury demonstrated the clear difference between an elite-level heavyweight and a solid contender. The commentator noted that Makhmudov's physical attributes simply couldn't match Fury's natural speed and endurance. Despite the loss, Makhmudov is expected to provide interesting insights about facing the legendary Fury.
