Fury has hunger to fight as comeback date announced

TYSON FurY announced his resurrection yesterday and proclaimed that he could beat Anthony Joshua tomorrow.

Oh, and Deontay Wilder the day after tomorrow, too.

Not that Frank Warren will allow him to find out if he could justify that prediction. Not that hurriedly.

Having signed Fury to a new multifight contract, the promoter outlined a four-fight strategy for the Gypsy King to reclaim his heavyweight throne, starting with a comeback against an as yet unnamed opponent in Manchester on June 9.

‘I’m happy for Joshua’s success but his style is perfect for me,’ said Fury. ‘I would outbox him for a few rounds and then knock him out.

‘Wilder is the best of the two at the moment but the pair of them put together are not a patch on Mike Tyson and don’t punch like he did.

‘While they are sluggers, I’m like Floyd Mayweather, the embodiment of the sweet science of hitting but not getting hit.’

Fury revealed he keeps in contact with Joshua and Wilder ‘because we all should fight each other, we all want to fight each other and the day is coming when we will all fight each other, so I can prove I am the real world heavyweight champion’.

He added: ‘I’m still the undefeated world heavyweight champion because I didn’t lose the belts, I gave them up.’

‘I’m stronger and faster than ever. Don’t forget I’m still only 29. With the fires burning inside me again I feel like a lion released from captivity and into the wild again.’
