Fury set for return to the ring
Heavyweight prospect Tyson Fury is set to return to the ring on Friday night.
The giant Mancunian is set to appear on the undercard when Gary Sykes and Andy Morris meet for the vacant British super-featherweight title in Huddersfield.
Fury (9-0), who has been out of the ring for five months, has came under much scrutiny from pundits following his controversial English title win over John McDermott.
But since then he says he's been busy working hard in the gym to realise his potential and prove the doubters wrong.
"I've just got back from sparring in Berlin, which Mick Hennessy organised for me which has been just the tonic," said Fury, who suffered a hand injury in his win over Tomas Mrazek in Dublin last September.
"I've been doing some heavy rounds with some big European names out there and the hand has held up well. I'm looking forward to cutting loose and taking someone out this Friday. I love to fight and am keen to get back into the swing of things as soon as possible."
Fury has already experienced what a big world-title bill is like, having made his pro debut on the undercard when Carl Froch became WBC super-middleweight king in December 2008.
And he's dreaming of more nights like that as he moves up in class.
"I want to experience the big occasion myself in the next couple of years, once the learning curve has finished," he said.
"I love a tear-up and if it was down to me, I'd fight Haye tomorrow and Wlad this afternoon after my dinner, but with each passing month of training and development I can feel my skills improving more and more.
"My training team of Brian Hughes and Pat Barrett are both chuffed to bits with the progress I've made since my fight with McDermott. I'm becoming a more complete fighter. I'm moving better, using my skill more and not just looking for war."
