Fury takes on Sefer Seferi as he begins his quest to become the king of the heavyweight division.

Despite not competing since dethroning Wladimir Kltischko in 2015 on that memorable night in Dusseldorf, Germany, Fury is feeling no nerves ahead of entering the squared circle.

"No nerves at all. Feel like I've never been away. I'm a don," he said exclusively to SPORTbible.

When asked about his prediction for the fight, Fury hopes to leave the ring as the victor but is well aware of the dangers in heavyweight boxing while talking up his Albanian opponent.

"Hopefully I'll win. But I might not, I might lose... who knows?! Should be a good fight."

"He's a tough opponent. Big puncher. I don't know much about him to be honest. Only loss to Manuel Charr, world champion - tough fight."

A contest against Anthony Joshua or Deontay Wilder is the match-up fans are clamouring for. Not to mention Tony Bellew who continues to call him out.

A bout between Fury versus either Joshua or Wilder has been heavily muted, and he's issued a message to the pair of undefeated world champions.

"They just a want a piece of me. I'm the lineal champion of the world. Wilder, if he wants a piece of it, he knows where to find me - Joshua the same.

"Both a pack of bitches, no good, can't box."
