Tyson Fury: British heavyweight announces August 1 fight in Dublin for warm-up before Anthony Joshua clash in November

Tyson Fury has announced that his next fight will take place on Saturday August 1 in Dublin.

Fury's warm-up fight - with the opponent yet to be announced - will take place before his much-anticipated heavyweight clash against Anthony Joshua, who will face Albanian Kristian Prenga in Riyadh on July 25.

The two-time world champion could be the main event on a Dublin bill that has already been scheduled for August 1, which features hometown fighter Pierce O'Leary against Mark Chamberlain.

Fury posted a video on Instagram on ‌Tuesday showing him back in training in Thailand.

The caption was "let's go August 1, Dublin, Ireland".

Fury's last ​fight was a comprehensive points win ​over Russia's Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11.

Makhmudov lasted the course, but Fury almost scored a shutout win, 120-108 on two cards and 119-109 on the third.
