Tyson Fury Return Fight Date Announced; Opponent Yet to Be Named
Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will make his return to the ring on June 9 in Manchester, England.
Per theย Mirror's Jake Polden, promoter Frank Warren confirmed the return of the undefeated 29-year-old, who has not fought since beatingย Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015 to claim theย IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles.ย ย
At a press conference, Fury said he is fitter than he has ever been ahead of his comeback fight, per BT Sport:

Fury's next opponent has yet to be announced, but no matter who he takes on, it will be a major occasion.
The Gypsy King, who boasts a record of 29-0, had the suspension of his boxing license lifted in January after it was revoked due to doping suspicions.
The Englishman's likely eventual goal is to take on compatriot Anthony Joshua, who holds the IBF, IBO, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles.
However, Fury will need to prove his form before he gets another shot at a title, given that he has spent so much time out of the ring.ย
