Tyson Fury ‘hoping to announce big fight very soon’ with likely opponent named
Tyson Fury has taken to Instagram to tell fans he is on the cusp of announcing his next fight.
'The Gypsy King' has not fought since December last year when he stopped Derek Chisora in the tenth round of their trilogy bout.

Since then, he has called out almost every fighter out there, from Oleksandr Usyk to Anthony Joshua and even former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, but none of these fights have come to fruition.
Fury is now back in the gym and it seems he will have some fight news coming soon.
"Hoping to announce a big fight very very soon," Fury said on his Instagram story.
"Stay tuned, I'm working hard, I'm in the gym.

"Summertime ready, getting them abs out, or flabs shall I say for me, but then again it helped me 33 times in a row so that don't really matter.
"Stay tuned, big news imminent."
The opponent is unlikely to be Usyk, as that undisputed clash seems like if it is going to happen it will be at the end of the year in Saudi Arabia, with the Ukrainian having signed a promotional deal with Saudi-based Skills Challenge Entertainment.
