All the details you need for the Tyson Fury vs Sefer Seferi fight
Tyson Fury faces Sefer Seferi over ten rounds in his highly-anticipated June 9 comeback fight, live on BT Sport.
The former WBA, WBO and IBF Heavyweight World Champion will end an exile of over two-and-a-half years when he fights at the 21,000-capacity Manchester Arena for the first time in his career.
The 'Gypsy King' looks in incredible shape, having shed seven stone since teaming up with new trainer Ben Davison and promised to reign supreme again.
Fury had his boxing licence reinstated this year and signed terms with promoter Frank Warren. During his absence, fellow Briton Anthony Joshua has taken the IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO world heavyweight titles, while unbeaten American Deontay Wilder holds the WBC belt.
