Former champion Fury to fight again

Return to the ring after serving a doping ban

Last updated:

London: Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is returning to the ring after serving a doping ban.

The Briton has signed with promoter Frank Warren and plans to fight on June 9 at Manchester Arena.

Fury has not fought since beating Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015 to win the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, a result that shocked boxing and revitalised the heavyweight division.

The British Boxing Board of Control suspended Fury in 2016 for drug and medical issues, amid a separate UK Anti-Doping investigation. That UKAD case ended in December when Fury accepted a backdated two-year doping ban for elevated levels of nandrolone in urine samples.
