Tyson Fury returns after 16 months off and two losses, facing a knockout artist who could test his shaky chin.

The episode opens with hosts T.J. Rives and Dan Rafael introducing the weekend's boxing preview. They start with Tyson Fury's comeback fight against Arslanbek Makhmadov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, noting Fury's layoff since losses to Alexander Usyk and concerns about his age and chin. Dan explains Makhmadov's punching power and Fury's need to prove he still has it, with a potential Anthony Joshua fight looming. Next, they discuss the co-feature between Conor Benn and Regis Prograis, highlighting Benn's move down in weight and Prograis's recent decline. The undercard includes Jamie TKV vs. Richard Riakporhe and Justice Hooney vs. Fraser Clarke. The hosts then shift to a junior middleweight IBF eliminator in Las Vegas between Brandon Adams and Calum Yarko, detailing the stakes for a title shot. They preview Juan Francisco Estrada vs. Tenshin Nasukawa in Japan, an eliminator for a bantamweight title. Fight news includes Abdullah Mason defending his WBO lightweight title against Joe Cordina on July 4th, part of a new TNT Sports-DAZN linear TV deal. Dan explains the significance of boxing returning to cable TV. Zufa Boxing signings like Richardson Hitchens and Edgar Berlanga are covered, with notes on IBF title complications. Injury updates on Deontay Wilder and Tim Tszyu are provided, and a canceled Callum Smith fight is mentioned.
