Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov big-fight predictions: Who wins heavyweight clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?

Lennox Lewis, David Haye, Dillian Whyte and more provide an expert breakdown of Tyson Fury's comeback bout against Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday...

Lennox Lewis (heavyweight legend)

Every time you come back, it's always risky. I think this opponent for him is a risky opponent but I think it's a great opponent for him because he'll realise this guy's got two dangerous shots to worry about. Other fighters that he's been up against had a lot more than Makhmudov. So this is a good fight for him.

We're in the backend [of Fury's career]. Muhammad Ali retired at 38. That's the same time I retired, at 38. So he's still got a couple of years left.

David Haye (former world champion)

It solely depends on what version of Tyson Fury turns up. He's been in and out, he's retired multiple times.

There's loads of different intangibles involved in it. But Makhmudov is a big, strong, robust, robotic heavyweight.

A solid, solid unit who can fight. He's not terrible. He's tailor-made for a prime Tyson Fury or even a Tyson Fury who's 70 per cent of what he once was. That's more than enough to handle, to defuse, to have a nice night.

But if he turns up not quite what he should be, if he doesn't have 12 good rounds in the tank, he doesn't want to be taking rounds off against someone who's so big and who punches so hard.

It's more about how much does Tyson have left.

Agit Kabayel (WBC Interim titlist)

Fury's my big brother, I respect him a lot. I think Fury will win the fight in the first four rounds. He's very fit, he's in shape. This is my prediction for the fight.

Makhmudov has very powerful hands. In our fight, the first two or three rounds he gave everything. But I think Furys' too intelligent. I think it's a different level.

Dillian Whyte (former world title challenger)

Makhmudov, if he rushes Tyson early, he could possibly get it done. Because Tyson's been out the ring a long time. Makhmudov is as big as him and he's a harder puncher than him and Tyson loses that height and reach advantage.

If he [Makhmudov] waits around and tries to box, he's going to get beat up and stopped in five, six, seven rounds.

He needs to rush him. Every time Tyson Fury's been knocked down it's been when he's trading.

When he's boxing and moving, it's easy. He's awkward, he's like an octopus. When he trades he leaves gaps and he does get tagged.

Jeamie TKV (British heavyweight champion)

I think Tyson Fury can get the job done. I feel like this is a good comeback fight for him.

I don't think a stoppage. Even though I feel like it's going to be a back and forth, Fury's going to outbox him and he'll get a win. Maybe it sets up a big fight between him and AJ.

Justis Huni (heavyweight contender)

Even though Fury's been out of the ring for a long time, I think his boxing skills, his movement, his size will be too much.

Kevin Lerena (sparring partner)

Tyson Fury, my first two camps with him he showed the same skills and then obviously this camp he showed the same skill. However in this camp I've seen him a lot happier. A lot mentally more sound. Not to say he wasn't sound for those camps but he's just raring to go. A different Tyson Fury. Every day was a good day in the gym.

It's the best I've seen Tyson and I've only been with him for three camps. So I'm expecting a massive performance on Saturday night.

This is his peak I'd say in the last three years. That's because of his ring IQ and the way he's evolved in his training. He's super smart. He trains very hard. Anyone who thinks he doesn't train hard needs to wake up and apologise.

He's in there with a man mountain in Makhmudov, who you cannot discredit, however he's not at the same level as Tyson Fury.

It shouldn't go past six rounds, that's my opinion.
