Tyson Fury announces comeback opponent

Monday, 21 May 2018 16:00

Tyson Fury has announced that he will fight Albania's Sefer Seferi for his comeback bout in Manchester on 9 June.

Fury, 29, has not fought since claiming the IBF, WBA and WBO titles from Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015. He won all 25 of his professional fights but was suspended in 2016 amid "anti-doping and medical issues" and accepted a backdated two-year ban in December 2017.

Seferi, 39, has boxed at cruiserweight for most of his professional career but will face Fury at heavyweight.

He has only lost once in 24 bouts and has fought four times since Fury's last bout against Klitschko.
