Tyson Fury is set to make his anticipated return to the ring following his hiatus from the sport of boxing.

When? Well, we don't know yet as the former heavyweight world champion has to sit in front of a UK Anti-Doping hearing in regards to a failed drug-test.

After dethroning Wladimir Klitschko on German soil, Fury sent seismic shock waves through the heavyweight division which has ultimately resulted in Anthony Joshua becoming unified world champion.

(Throwback to when Fury was going nuts with the England fans in France during Euro 2016:)

Though after capturing the WBA, IBF and WBO titles, he was stripped of the IBF before relinquishing the other belts as a result of his ongoing battle with depression.

But as he vows to return to the squared circle, the 28-year-old remains adamant he's never taken a drug in his life, "I've never taken a drug in my life," he told The Telegraph.

"These people can say what they like but I'm suing them for what they have done to me."

"They thought they had a villain and that they were going to take me down. This went on from before the Klitschko fight. If I tested positive then why didn't they ban me then?"

While claiming he unseated the Ukrainian on fair grounds, as well as detailing the demons he was under from the scrutiny.

"To be honest I didn't want to live. If I had cheated, fine. But I have not cheated. I beat Klitschko on ability. I don't need a drug. I'm a giant already. For them to say that about me, it sent me under. I did not want to live anymore. But I feel differently now."

Meanwhile, a week removed from the biggest fight in Britain, the Mancunian has called out Joshua who now holds the titles he once held.

'AJ's' promoter Eddie Hearn has already tentatively eyed up another outing at Wembley Stadium with April 2018 reportedly in the works.

Joshua wants it. Fury wants it. Make it happen, Eddie!
