Tyson Fury returns to boxing with victory, calls out Anthony Joshua

Tyson Fury made a successful return to boxing after a 15-month hiatus, securing a comfortable decision win over Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The 37-year-old dominated the fight and won widely on the scorecards.

Immediately after the victory, Fury challenged British rival Anthony Joshua to a fight, demanding a clear response from him.

Joshua, who was present at ringside, declined to confirm whether he would accept the challenge, instead calling Fury a "clout chaser" and stating he has been pursuing Fury for 10 years.

No official agreement has been reached yet, but talks are reportedly underway for a potential bout between Fury and Joshua to take place at Croke Park in Dublin this September.

The heavyweight division is closely watching these developments.

Fury's only professional losses have been to heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

His return and immediate call-out of Joshua have reignited interest in a high-profile all-British heavyweight contest that boxing fans have anticipated for years.

Meanwhile, Usyk is scheduled to defend his WBC title against former kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven on 23 May in Egypt.
