Tyson Fury, the linear, WBA Super, WBO, IBO and Ring Magazine World Heavyweight Champion, was in attendance at today's press conference with BoxNation.
The undefeated star confirmed last weekend his mega-rematch against Ukrainian legend Wladimir Klitschko is set for July 9th in the UK and will shortly commence training.
Fury created a huge upset by defeating the long-reigning Klitschko on German soil last November and now aims to repeat the feat again, but on home ground.
Tyson was in attendance with his promoter Mick Hennessy to address the red-hot domestic heavyweight scene - which now features a lot of movement on the British side with new world IBF champion Anthony Joshua, comebacking two division world champion David Haye making a lot of noise, and former WBO champion Shannon Briggs making the UK his new home.
In the first part of the press conference, promoter Frank Warren was joined by his former stars and British greats Ricky Hatton and Naseem Hamed with their own talents Nathan Gorman and Tony Bange who look to become British boxing’s next generation of stars.
Hot two-fight unbeaten prospect Gorman and professional debutant Bange both feature on the massive Copper Box Arena show on Saturday 30th April, exclusively live on BoxNation.
Hatton and Hamed were in attendance with their proteges to discuss their future plans.
Undefeated heavyweight sensation Hughie Fury was also in attendance to discuss his first title opportunity on the show.
The Manchester talent, younger cousin of Tyson, is undefeated in 19 fights with 10 KO’s and further details will be announced about his fight.
