Fury has not been seen with his gloves laced up since beating KSI in October 2023.
He had to undergo surgery on his wrist in the aftermath of that win.
The former Love Island star was then set to face ex-UFC contender Darren Till on a Misfits card earlier this year, only to withdraw over concerns the Gorilla would use MMA moves in the ring.
Till, who makes his own return on May 16, blasted Tommy and dad John as "completely and utterly embarrassing".

The event - which will not be under the misfits banner - also features the return of his and Tyson Fury's other brother, Roman.
SunSport has the lowdown on the big return.
