Former heavyweight unified champion Tyson Fury (38) was humiliated by his opponent Aslanbeck Mahmoudov (37) in a face-to-face ceremony for his return match.

Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 10th (Korea Standard Time) that "Mahmudov showed off his strength by lifting Fury at the second Fight Week face-to-face ceremony."

Fury showed a relaxed attitude in a face-to-face ceremony immediately after the pre-Feligon press conference in London on the 8th. However, shortly after, he was caught by his opponent's "bear hug," and Mahmoudov lightly lifted 127kg of Fury into the air.

Mahmoudov has been wrestling with a full-grown bear for years. "In my hometown of Dagestan, I consider the refusal to face off as scary," he said, explaining that "the confrontation with a beast that can die in one second is a test for itself and an interesting experience that is approaching death."

The heavyweight boxing showdown between the two will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on the 11th. Fury, who retired after a two-game losing streak to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, announced his return in January 2025. Opponent Mahmoudov is a slugger with 21 wins (19KO).

Fury remained confident despite the face-to-face humiliation. He said, "I'm a hunter. "I will faint and destroy other champions after Aslanbeck's example," he said. "I am the true 'money man' of the sport. The champions will kneel down and beg me for a showdown," he said.
