Netflix announces viewing figures for Tyson Fury’s comeback fight

  • Netflix has announced that over five million people tuned in to watch Tyson Fury’s comeback fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov.
  • Netflix has streamed a number of high-profile fights over the past 18 months, including Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson and Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford.
  • It was the first time Fury has fought on Netflix, as he returned to the ring following a 16-month layoff.
  • Fury picked up a unanimous decision victory over Makhmudov and proceeded to call out Anthony Joshua after the fight.
  • Joshua was sat at ringside for the fight but refused to step between the ropes to go face-to-face with Fury as he branded his rival a “clout chaser”.
