With Fury fighting to rebound from back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk, Saturdayâs bout carries unusually high stakes â and fans wonât want to miss how to watch it unfold.

Boxing fans in the United States and United Kingdom can watch the fight live, along with a featured undercard bout pitting Conor Benn against former world champion Regis Prograis at a 150-pound catchweight.
The full undercard is scheduled to get underway at 62,850-seat Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 3:30 p.m. British Standard Time. That’s 10:30 a.m. Eastern in the United States, 7:30 a.m. Pacific. Here is the full information to watch the Fury vs. Makhmudov fight and undercard live.

For the 37-year-old Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs), the matchup against the Russian who fights out of Montreal, Canada, is a chance at redemption of sorts. Last year was a washout for Fury. He fought his first of two fights on May 18 against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury lost all five of his belts in a split decision, suffering a knockdown in the ninth round that was likely the difference in the fight with two judges scoring the bout 114-113, one for Fury, one for Usyk.
That was the first loss of the 6-foot-9 Fury’s now-18-year career. When he fought Usyk in a Dec. 21 rematch, however, he lost again. This time there were no knockdowns, but Usyk thoroughly outboxed Fury and won a unanimous decision with all three judges scoring the fight 116-112, or 8-4 in rounds with no point deductions for knockdowns or fouls.
