Tyson Fury has given boxing fans a return date to the ring and also claims he is considering opponents with promoter Frank Warren.
The Gypsy King tweeted to say he will put the gloves back on for a bout on May 13th, which is 18 months after his heroic win over Wladimir Klitschko.
“Breaking news”

The 28-year-old also included BT Sport and Box Nation in his tweet, after the two agreed a deal, which Warren branded as “the biggest TV deal in boxing history”.
Fury had his boxing licence suspended bu the British Boxing Board of Control in October to focus on mental health problems.
Fury then followed up his “breaking news”, with a threat to all boxers who hold the belts he vacated.
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.????— TYSON2FASTFURY (@Tyson_Fury) March 6, 2017
Fury’s hint at a return to the sport, will come as good news to boxing fans after he teased his followers earlier on in the day on social media.
It was unclear whether or not Fury would return to the ring, after he was at ‘breaking point’ following his unforgettable victory over Vladimir Klitschko.
His rescheduled rematch with Klitschko was postponed due to an ankle injury, before it came out that the former heavyweight champion was medically unstable to box.
Fury admitted to taking cocaine after becoming depressed following his win over Klitschko in 2015.
As the fighter’s drug use became publicly known, he eventually vacated his heavyweight belts.
Anthony Joshua is now facing Klitschko at Wembley Stadium on April 29th for the WBA Super World heavyweight title, the IBF world title and the IBO world title, which were all given up by Fury.
