غضب شديد (25-0, 18 كوس), WBA سابق, WBO and IBF Heavyweight World Champion will end a two-years-and-seven-months exile from the sport on June 9. Fury has been inactive since outpointing فلاديمير كليتشكو in Dusseldorf in November 2015 بسبب الاصابة, personal problems and a doping ban.
“I’m the fittest I’ve ever been,قال فيوري, who has teamed up with new trainer Ben Davison. “Timing, reflexes, everything is better than it’s ever been. I kid you not. أنا 29 سنة, coming into the prime of my life, I’m stronger and faster, holding more muscle mass than ever. I’m more confident looking at the competition.”
Albania’s Seferi (23-1, 21 كوس) is a 39-year-old Switzerland-based cruiserweight who is stepping up in weight and opposition when he faces the 6-foot-9 Fury. Seferi’s sole loss came in 2016 in a heavyweight bout against now-secondary WBA heavyweight champ Manuel Charr.
“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” said Seferi. “Two-and-a-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko.”
فلاناغان, the first Englishman to earn a lightweight world title, will seek to capture a title in a second weight class just days away from his 29عشر عيد ميلاد. عاهرة, a southpaw from Dallas, Texas and ShoBox alum, has been training with تيرينس كراوفورد. Hooker will look to follow in the footsteps of fellow Dallas resident ايرول سبنس جونيور., who went to Kell Brook’s hometown of Sheffield, England to capture his first world championship.
