Gypsy King is still waiting to discover his next opponent but is wasting no time in ensuring he is in pristine condition to get back in the ring
TYSON FURY hit the gym in Manchester to train with Billy Joe Saunders ahead of his first fight since the controversial draw with Deontay Wilder.
The Gypsy King and WBC champion fought in one of the most exciting heavyweight title fights for years on December 1.
Despite being floored twice, the majority of fans and pundits were outraged when Fury failed to be announced as the winner.
That led to immediate talk of a rematch, but contract wrangles have ended any chance of that happening soon.
Fury has penned a contract with ESPN, but he pulled away from negotiations over another scrap with Wilder after he discovered the champ had no interest in having a warm-up match first with the American broadcasters in order to help raise the “Bronze Bomber’s” profile in his homeland.
But that has not deterred Fury from hitting the gym and getting down to work with trainer Ben Davison and his close mate Saunders.
Bob Arum, Fury’s American promoter, has said recently that he has sent out a number of offers to top heavyweights for Fury’s next fight.
He said: “Tyson Fury’s gonna fight either in May or June in the United States against a top contender.
“We have offers out, we’re waiting for a signed contract.”
Arum is also hopeful of finally landing a rematch with Wilder after his mandatory title defence against Dominic Breazeale.
He added: “Wilder apparently is going to do an interim fight as well and then hopefully we can match them up.
“We tried to sign Wilder, give him a tune-up fight and have him fight Tyson Fury, but they decided to do the tune-up fight themselves which is their prerogative.
“But we’re still obviously open and we’ll sit down with them to do a match between Fury and Wilder sometime at the end of this year.”
