Shannon Briggs is planning a fight with Tyson Fury in the future, claiming he can give the champion a "run for his money".
Fury previously announced his retirement from the sport having defeated Dillian Whyte in his 'final' outing back in April. However, he immediately backtracked by suggesting he could be tempted back into the ring in an exhibition format, which includes a possible crossover bout with UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
Former heavyweight champion Briggs has confirmed he plans to return to the ring on August 6 and hopes to get himself back in world title contention within a year or two. "I will be returning to the ring soon, hopefully on August 6, so it will be the return of the champ," Briggs told iFL TV. "We are going to figure it out. We are looking at names and step by step we will be getting back and I will look for the heavyweight champion of the world real soon.
