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.
