Tyson Fury’s comeback fight captivated over five million UK Netflix viewers. The former heavyweight champion dominated Arslanbek Makhmudov over 12 rounds at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Saturday.
The streaming triumph ranks among Britain’s most-watched boxing matches this decade. Barry McGuigan’s 1985 win over Eusebio Pedroza drew 19 million; Frank Bruno’s 1987 knockout of Joe Bugner hit 18 million.
Netflix timed perfectly—Fury’s documentary At Home with the Furys Season 2 dropped hours after victory. The series tops UK and Ireland charts.
Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul drew 33 million globally on Netflix. Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano trilogy hit six million. Paul vs Mike Tyson shattered records with 125 million.
Fury-Joshua emerges as next streaming mega-fight. Netflix prematurely announced autumn clash. No deal exists yet—Joshua considers warm-up bout. Wembley Stadium and Dublin’s Croke Park vie as venues.
