Fury was forced to vacate his previously held world heavyweight titles due to needing to take time out of the sport to concentrate on his mental health issues and recovering to an able – fit state to box.
He was previously scheduled to face Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch in 2016 but had to pull out of the fight due to not being fit to box.
It is expected that Fury will definitely return to the ring in 2017. But a definitive date is not know at this particular time.
Some have suggested that April or May of 2017 could be a time for Fury to next step in the ring again.
His last fight in the ring came in November 2015 when he outpointed previous long reigning champion Wladimir Klitschko in a memorable night for him and indeed Irish and British boxing.
