I just hope that when he does fight, it’s against someone that at the very least, we’ve heard of.
It’s all right saying he’ll be rusty and the like, but hey, he was a World Champion in his last fight, as he keeps telling everyone.
Definitely no excuses for an Eastern European taxi driver.
I'll be surprised if it's anyone decent, gone are the days of returning against a Quarry or Sam Peter after a long layoff.Quote:

TYSON FURY has agreed a deal with Frank Warren to fight on BT Sport and BoxNation, with June a proposed date for his comeback.
Fury has not fought since 2015, when he beat Wladimir Klitschko to take the heavyweight title.
He is expected to fight in Manchester this summer to end his long spell out.
And the deal is a huge one for Frank Warren and his team, with ESPN reporting Fury's comeback could take place on June 9 on the undercard of Terry Flanagan vs Maurice Hooker.
Fury has been working hard in recent weeks to shed weight ahead of his proposed return, despite announcing his retirement in 2017.
The former heavyweight champion had his licence suspended by the British Boxing Board of control (BBBofC) last year, after he admitted using cocaine to help with depression.
Fury posted: “Been very blessed in my life & career achieve the upmost in boxing, was a epic journey along the way,”
He added: “Thanks to all the fans that supported & believed in me along the way. Hope you enjoy [sic] it as much as I did. THE END.”

Got a sneaky feeling his first fight back is gonna be a cabbage.
After 3 years out and having to lose so much weight he isn't going to wade into the deep end just yet, and a first fight gimme I think is quite understandable.Quote:

irrelevant, one-hit wonder (... and the "hit" was a lousy one at that)
Couple of days ago people on twitter were betting 80/1 (Skybet) that Fury breaks Joe Louis title defences record (26) because that's what he was saying his goal is.
1. He currently doesn't have a title to defend.
2. In ten years he's had 25 fights, never averaged close to three fights per year, so at the current rate they're betting Fury will beat AJ or Wilder then go unbeaten for over 13 years.
80/1 could be 80,000/1

I looked it up:
1 Alexander Povetkin (International) RUS
2 Dominic Breazeale USA
3 Jarrell Miller USA
4 Dillian Whyte JAM
5 Tom Schwarz (Int-Cont) GER
6 Kyotaro Fujimoto (Asia-Pacific) JAP
7 Bryant Jennings USA
8 Zhilei Zhang (Oriental) CHN
9 Agit Kabayel GER
10 Christian Hammer GER
Five, six, eight and nine I've never heard of. Fury against a German is probably what Frank will go for.
Fury to announce his comeback fight tomorrow
Warren making bad judgement again (the most expensive option) of our piss poor heavyweights, its a lottery out there! Every promoter wants a heavyweight due to the piss poor standard, Hatton has blown out with Lardarse Browne, Sauerland has blown out with Price, who will be the next to fail? Laughable.
There are plenty of heavyweights out there to choose from and they do not have to be that good. Dubois is the next contender. Warren will have a production line of them.Quote:

So, it’s official! He’s fighting in Early June against that durable Journeyman “A.N.Other” ! Current holder of the TBA & TBC Titles!
And in another Ground breaking announcement, Team Fury have announced that Trees are Green!:rolleyes:
