The WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is all set to make his comeback in the boxing ring this August against Australian boxer Demsey McKean. McKean is undefeated in his professional record of 22 fights. Although he is less experienced than 'The Gypsy King,' he has an impressive 14 wins by knockout.
McKean's manager Angelo Di Carlo told New Corp that Fury's management is in touch with him regarding a potential bout in August in Australia. Here's what Di Carlo said:
"Chats began some time ago for Demsey to fight Tyson Fury in Australia, and I think Demsey is the best option for The Gypsy King. Demsey and Justis [Huni] are Australia's best heavyweights, but Demsey is six foot six, and being a southpaw, he would present a real test for Tyson."
