The electric atmosphere was palpable, with fireworks and flames erupting as Fury made his entrance, and the crowd erupting in cheers as he danced and grinned, feeding off the energy.

In the second round, Fury smacked Makhmudov with a series of punches, triggering a huge roar from the crowd, and he continued to dominate the fight, landing a fierce jab and a crushing right cross in the fourth round. As the fight wore on, Fury found his rhythm, marking Makhmudov out with reliable left jabs and bouncing his jaw aside with a tight left hook. In the final rounds, Fury picked out a long lead hook and pressed his opponent back, before trading fiercely in the 10th round and shaking Makhmudov with a right and left hook to the chin. The victory was a convincing one, with Fury almost securing a shutout win, and he wasted no time in calling out Joshua after the decision was announced. In a booming voice, Fury declared his desire for a Battle of Britain showdown, challenging Joshua to a fight and asking if he accepted the challenge. Joshua responded, saying he had no problem getting in the ring with Fury and would punch him up again, but only on his own terms. The stage is now set for a potential mega-fight between two of British boxing's biggest stars.
