Tyson Fury has appeared to confirm a return to boxing.
The Mancunian fighter sent a couple of tweets on Monday evening, the first of which suggested he was working with promoter Frank Warren to secure an opponent for a fight on May 13.
"Breaking news"
Return of the MAC,
may 13th, working on an opponent more news to follow, @frankwarren_tv @btsport @boxnationtv— TYSON FURY (@Tyson_Fury) March 6, 2017
He followed this initial tweet by warning that he was willing to take on any opponent in order to win back the belts he won after defeating Wladimir Klitschko 15 months ago.
I'm taking on all bums,
Keep my belts warm guys as they belong to the king 👑 who ever got my belts I'm coming for you! Big or small.🥊— TYSON FURY (@Tyson_Fury) March 6, 2017
As of yet, it’s unclear if Fury will return to the ring as early as May 13, despite his tweets. The 28-year-old, who became the unified world champion after beating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, is currently under provisional suspension for self-confessed cocaine use while suffering with depression. He is also awaiting a long overdue hearing for allegedly failing a drug test two years ago.
