Tyson Fury will fight for the first time in nearly three years when he returns to the ring in Manchester on June 9th.
The former world heavyweight champion has signed with promoter Frank Warren, who announced the Manchester Arena fight on Thursday. The opponent for Fury has yet to be revealed.
A statement from Warren on Instagram read: “HE’S BACK!!! Delighted to announce that gypsyking101 has signed a promotional deal with us. June 9th at the manchesterarena is the first step back to reclaiming what is rightfully his.”
Fury has been preparing to return since January, when the suspension on his boxing licence was lifted.
He last fought in November 2015 when he outpointed Wladimir Klitschko to win the IBF, WBA and WBO titles.
Two-year ban Fury accepted a backdated two-year ban from UK Anti-Doping in December. He was charged with testing positive for a “prohibited substance” in June 2016 but said that was as a result of eating wild boar.
Fury quipped that he could come back, take on a unified champion, land all the heavyweight belts and retire, but a world title fight is clearly some way off.
Warren said Fury would need “three or four fights” before being ready to take on the best in the business.
“He’s going to be busy. He needs to get some rounds under his belt,” Warren said.
“He needs to get himself fighting fit. He’s fit but he needs to be fighting fit.”
Warren stressed the pace of Fury’s return will be determined by the 29-year-old, saying: “The agenda will be Tyson’s agenda.”

GGG v Alvarez is a huge payday for them and maybe they wanted Tyson Fury out of the way of Anthony Joshua.

In his first fight on British soil in four years, Tyson Fury retained WBC heavyweight crown by knocking out Dillian Whyte in round six in front od 94,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium. The first round was not the explosive fight we hoped to see with both men exchanging tepid jabs. Fury began to show off his speed, feinting on the ropes to avoid early body shots from Whyte. The first real action of the round came towards the end when after Whyte tried to land a body shot, met a heavy right hand from the WBC champion. Heading into the fight, Fury weighed his lightest in three years and in the second round, the Gypsy King looked to be quicker on his feet. Whyte took some heavy swings at Fury, but he avoided them effortlessly before returning jabs of his own.
Whyte began to run out of options, and in the third round, it became clear that Fury was easing into his stride. At the beginning of the round, Whyte tried to test his range with a jab, but Fury responded with a powerful left hook. Fury soon pounced again, catching Whyte with a quick combo when he went for a body shot. The round ended with a major highlight as Fury landed two right blows as Whyte tried to show off his head movement.
The fourth round was more of the same as Whyte tried but failed to hit Fury. Following two punches from Fury, Whyte replied with a big right hand, but Fury dodged the blow, and Whyte nearly lost his footing. Fury continued to dominate his opponent, and in the fourth round, Whyte began to bleed from a cut just above his eye, following a head collision by both men. By the fifth round, it was clear that Fury was in far better shape than Whyte as he continued to dance around the tired-looking challenger.
Fury soon put his challenger out of his misery, ending the bout in the sixth round. As Whyte leaned in to strike a right-handed blow, Fury dipped out of the way before returning a good uppercut which floored Dillian Whyte. At the end of the fight, Fury hinted at retirement which would see him end his career undefeated, winning 32 and drawing one of his 33 fights.
