Tyson fury is back. After being stripped of all of his titles and not having fought now since that epic 2015 victory over Wladimir Klitschko (which seems like yesterday) Tyson Fury will step back into the ring at the Manchester Arena on June 9 when he takes on Albania’s Sefer Seferi.
After a medical investigation into Fury, aka the Gypsy King, the 29 years old is going to have to work his way back up the ranks if he wants to get a shot at the best in the world once again.
Better than Joshua and Wilder?
Fury has, as you would expect from him, been full of talk and he cites his motivation for getting back to the top of the sport as wanting to prove to everybody that he is better than Anthony Joshua who is the reigning WBA, IBF and WBO champion, and also Deontay Wilder who holds the current WBC title.
Even though Fury has been away from the ring for so long, this reappearance looks as if it is just going to be a complete mismatch with Fury at 1/100 odds-on favourite with Betfair* (Betting Odds taken at 8:18 p.m. on May 31st, 2018) to win the bout. Fury really had the world at his feet after beating Klitschko and twice he tried to get a rematch between going but it never materialised and then the scandal from charges placed against him by UK Anti-Doping means that in 2016 he vacated his titles.
His opponent Seferi made is professional boxing debut in 2007 at cruiserweight but he has flitted between that and heavyweight during his career, stepping up a division for the first time in 2016. His record stands at 23-1 during his career and 21 of those victories were by a knockout. On his return to the ring Tyson Fury will be holding a 25-0 career record with 18 of those victories coming by and knockout and fury is as ridiculously short as 1/9 odds at betfair* (Betting Odds taken at 8:18 p.m. on May 31st, 2018) to win by KO TKO disqualification.
That’s how much of a mismatch this is expected to be and it makes shopping around for a bit of value on the Tyson Fury v Sefer Seferi bout a little tricky. Given that period is coming back into the ring after some time away and many little time to settle down, Tyson Fury to take victory in rounds 6-10 is 8/11 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 8:18 p.m. on May 31st, 2018) which seems a good fit for what is likely to be an easy challenge ahead of him.
