Tyson Fury returns from his latest hiatus in the heavyweight division when he faces Arslanbek Makhmudov in a scheduled 12-rounder at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
By Fury's own estimation, this is his fifth return from retirement, and it certainly can be hard to keep track.
Since he last laced gloves for the second of his competitive points defeats to unified champion Oleksandr Usyk, the heavyweight division has moved on just fine without 'The Gypsy King'.
Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois will meet in an all-British clash for the former's WBO title in Manchester next month, while Moses Itauma's star continues to rise.
As such, Fury is fighting to justify his place at the table and to keep ambitions such as a long-awaited showdown with Anthony Joshua and a desired third crack at Usyk on track.
If the 37-year-old has not slipped significantly during his absence, he should have too much for Makhmudov, a dangerously destructive puncher but a fighter with questions over his stamina and chin.
On the other hand, almost all great former heavyweight champions have lost fights they wouldn't previously have lost when they couldn't manage to stay away. You sense such ignominy is coming for Fury soon enough, even if it is not this weekend.
