Tyson Fury returns to the ring after 16 months out when clashing with Russian heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night.
What is boxing without the Gypsy King? Well, it's certainly less intriguing, and the former two-time world champion returns to the heavyweight scene at a fascinating time, with Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk, Moses Itauma, Fabio Wardley and Agit Kabayel amongst the names holding or chasing belts.
Make no mistake about it, 21-2 Makhmudov is no walkover, winning 19 of his 21 bouts via the way of knockout, but there's an overarching sense that Fury is looking beyond the Russian, with an all-British showdown against AJ seemingly on the cards.
Fury returns to the ring off the back of consecutive losses against Usyk, and his prior split decision victory over Francis Ngannou was by no means convincing, and so Saturday will be a measure of what the Gypsy King has left in the tank.
What is Tyson Fury's walk-out song?
Tyson Fury is renowned for his theatrical ring walks, and while he has typically made his entrance to 'American Pie' by Don McLean, he has been known to switch it up in more recent fights.
In his first fight against Usyk, he entered to Barry White's 'My Everything', followed by Bonnie Tyler’s well-known 'I Need a Hero'.
In his rematch against the Ukrainian, Mariah Carey's seasonal hit 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' was succeeded by the Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Hypnotize', but that wasn't it! The captivating ring walk was concluded with DMX's 'Lord Give Me a Sign'.
Dolly Parton's 'Jolene', Roy Orbison's 'Oh Pretty Woman' and Chase & Status and Bou's 'Baddadan' were heard when the Gypsy King entered the stage for his Riyadh clash against Ngannou in October 2023.
Other famous entrances have included included famous songs 'Freed from Desire' by Gala and 'Sweet Home Alabama' by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
