Tommy Fury is set to face a former gang leader in his return to boxing and a date has already been revealed.
Fury hasn't fought since his controversial victory over KSI back in October 2023.
A fight against former UFC star Darren Till was scheduled until he withdrew from the contest.
Till called for a showdown against Fury following his victory over Anthony Taylor but it appears the undefeated boxer has other plans.
According to former gang leader-turned-boxer Matt Floyd, he will welcome 'TNT' back to the ring.

Floyd claims he will face Fury on the undercard of KSI's proposed fight on March 29, which is due to take place in London.
On Instagram, Floyd shared a mock poster on Instagram, accompanied with the caption: "The date for the fight has now been moved to March 29, this fight is a culmination of everything I’ve worked, and no matter what obstacles or delays come my way the goal will remain the same. I’ve never had a social media team or any real help. I’ve built everything myself, figuring it out as I went, with a bit of support along the way. In my 20s, I was in prison for leading a gang, but it was all part of my effort to do something positive for society. I grew up surrounded by pedophiles, and that experience is what drove me to protect the innocent. No one knows where I’ve come from or what I’ve been through, but I’ve always kept pushing forward.
"My last three fights I fought with a broken hand, but I said nothing. Hurdle after hurdle but each one fuels me more. I’ve faced corruption in Thailand against a fighter who’s largely considered Asia’s greatest of all time, but I’ve risen above it. Time and again, I’ve proven I won’t stop. I’ve built my career from nothing, and it’s been a relentless grind to where I am today.

"Everything I have ever said is gonna happen has happened and this will be no different. I’ve known for two years that I would fight @tommyfury, If he pulls out like he usually does, I will fight and beat @idrisvirgo, @tymitchellofficial, @anthony_prettyboy or @darrentill92 but I will fight Tommy eventually. Watch and see thank you Just @dhv123x."
The Australian used to be president of the Western Australian chapter of the Lone Wolf Biker Gang before transitioning to boxing, where he boasts a professional record of 15-1.
He hasn't fought since his victory over Sirimongkhon Iamthuam, with all of his fights taking place either in Australia or Thailand.
