Former heavyweight champion Fury announces August return in Dublin
LONDON: Tyson Fury has said he plans to return to the ring in Dublin on August 1 — one week after fellow former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua makes his comeback. The pair are heading for a long-awaited ‘Battle of Britain’, probably in November, although it appears that both boxers will first have a warm-up fight. Joshua will face unheralded Albanian Kristian Prenga in Riyadh on July 25 in his first bout since being involved in a car crash in Nigeria in December which killed two of his close friends. Fury posted a video in an Instagram story showing him back in training in Thailand alongside the caption: “Let’s go August 1, Dublin, Ireland.” Fury could take a place on a card being put together by veteran promoter Frank Warren in the Republic of Ireland capital on that date.

Fury marked his return from a 16-month retirement with a dominant points win over Russia’s Arslanbek Makhmudov in April, after which he immediately called out Joshua, who was present at ringside. Rather than face-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a verbal exchange followed in which Joshua taunted Fury by declaring: “I’m the landlord, remember that.
