"textContent": "\n\n\nTyson Fury appears to have accidentally revealed major details about his next fight as anticipation builds towards his long-awaited showdown with Anthony Joshua later this year.\n\nThe former heavyweight world champion hinted heavily on social media that he will return to the ring on August 1 in Dublin, just one week after Joshua’s own comeback bout in Saudi Arabia.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nFury and Joshua are both expected to finally collide later this year after years of failed negotiations and collapsed talks surrounding a blockbuster Battle of Britain clash.\n\nBut before that can happen, both men still appear set for separate warm-up fights.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\nJoshua, 36, is due back in action on July 25 when he takes on relatively unknown Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga in Riyadh.\n\nThe 35-year-old opponent holds a 20-1 professional record but remains largely unfamiliar to mainstream boxing audiences.\n\nNow Fury looks set to follow suit with a return of his own only days later.\n\nThe 37-year-old uploaded a training video to Instagram alongside Thailand-based boxing coach Robert “Sifu” McInnes, who appeared to reveal the details of Fury’s next fight during the clip.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n“First time back in camp ready for the fight on August 1st,” McInnes said.\n\n“Tyson’s home.”\n\nFury then added further fuel to speculation with a caption reading: “Let’s go August 1, Dublin, Ireland.”\n\nThe Gypsy King has returned to training camp in Thailand ahead of the proposed bout after previously preparing there for his comeback victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov earlier this year.\n\n### LATEST SPORTS NEWS:\n\n\n\n\n * Rafael Nadal shows off disfigured foot for the first time after years of tennis took a toll\n * Luke Littler receives warning about his conduct ahead of Premier League Finals Night\n * Jamie Vardy to leave Italy with EFL club eager to secure summer transfer\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nFury ended a 16-month retirement in April when he defeated Makhmudov on points in a heavily scrutinised return to the sport.\n\nSpeaking from Thailand, Fury appeared energised about beginning another training camp.\n\n“He’s back in Thailand, baby,” Fury said.\n\n“Camp two, second camp.”\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe proposed Dublin event is expected to take place at the 3Arena and will reportedly also feature the rescheduled lightweight contest between Pierce O’Leary and Mark Chamberlain.\n\nMeanwhile, Joshua is preparing for his own emotional comeback after surviving the devastating car accident in December that tragically claimed the lives of two of his close friends.\n\nOnly days before the crash, the former two-time world heavyweight champion stopped YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in six round during their hugely publicised clash in Miami.\n\nAJ has already returned to training ahead of his Saudi Arabia comeback and recently posed for photographs alongside heavyweight prospect Matty Harris.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nBoth Fury and Joshua are expected to meet in November provided they successfully navigate their upcoming fights.\n\nPromoter Frank Warren recently confirmed discussions are progressing towards finally making the all-British heavyweight super-fight happen.\n\n“That’s what we’re looking to do,” Warren told Sky Sports when discussing Fury’s return plans.\n\n“So keep watching this space, and it’ll be a good opponent, it’ll be good for him.”\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nWarren also warned there can be no room for complacency from either fighter before their proposed showdown later this year.\n\n“He can’t afford to slip up,” Warren added.\n\n“Obviously AJ’s got his fight in a few weeks’ time.\n\n“[Joshua’s] got to come through that, Tyson has to come through his, and then the big one will be in November.”\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
