Tyson Fury is targeting a sensational July ring return.
The former linear, WBA Super, WBO, IBO and Ring Magazine world heavyweight champion has not fought since he dethroned the long-reigning Wladimir Klitschko back in 2015.
But now the controversial Mancunian wants to begin his mission to reclaim all of his belts this summer. In a social media post, the ‘Gypsy King’ indicated he wanted to make his comeback on the undercard of Billy Joe Saunders’ mandatory WBO world middleweight title defence against Avtandil Khurtsize.
Promoter Frank Warren is currently finalising details for Saunders’ mandatory defence against newly-crowned WBO interim champion Khurtsidze, with a July date in London looking likely.
"Gypsy King reporting into the World. I can confirm that I will be accompanying the one and only Billy Joe Saunders when he fights ‘Danny De Vito’,” Fury said in an Instagram post.
“I’m coming back. Going over to Marbella [to train]. We are going to Marbella and I’m coming back to take on all bums. Bum of the month campaign, what you say Frank? So many bums out there that need cleaning up and wiping out.”
Saunders clashed with Khurtsidze in Leicester on Saturday night after watching the hard-hitting Georgian stop British champion Tommy Langford in five rounds.
