Seferi is so goodie for Tyson in return to the ring
TYSON Fury will face Sefer Seferi in his comeback fight at the Manchester Arena on June 9.
Seferi has spent the majority of his career at cruiserweight where the 39-year-old Albanian has 23 wins and one defeat, 21 by knockout.
But Seferi is nowhere close to the standard Fury has faced during the majority of his career.
“I can’t wait to get in there and prove that I’m a better fighter than I’ve ever been,” said Manchester’s Fury. “I’m coming into the prime of my career now and I’ve never felt better. I’m fitter, stronger and faster than the Fury of 2015.
“We’re just three weeks away from what is going to be a huge night for the city of Manchester. I’m delighted to be fighting at the iconic Manchester Arena for the first time in my career and I’m promising the fans a special performance to thank them for their loyal support.”
Seferi’s most notable fight came against former world heavyweight title challenger Manuel Charr in September 2016, with Seferi losing by unanimous decision, but he insists he will pose a big threat to Fury.
“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury. I’m very disciplined and always ready to take on everyone and anyone. This will not be an easy night for him. I’m coming to Manchester to beat one of the boxing legends of the 21st Century,” he said.
“He is tall and strong but he won’t be ready for the pressure I will bring.”
