Tommy Fury will fight Polish veteran Daniel Bocianski in his ring return on the undercard of his brother Tyson's heavyweight clash with Dillian Whyte.
Fury will fight for the first time since last August having been forced to pull out of his clash with Jake Paul last December with a broken rib. His last outing saw him out-point Paul's sparring partner Anthony Taylor on the undercard of the YouTube star's meeting with Tyron Woodley.
Now Fury will face Bocinaski at Wembley Stadium on April 23 as he looks to follow in his brother's footsteps and continue his light-heavyweight surge. The Polish star has a professional record of ten victories and one defeat, but has yet to fight out of his native country.
He will represent the toughest test of Fury's short career as he looks to make it eight victories as a professional and tee up a rescheduled clash with Paul. Also on the card, junior-lightweight champion Anthony Cacace will make his return against Colombian star Jonathan Romero.
Fury's cousin Isaac Lowe will also take to the ring against undefeated Liverpool native Nick Ball, while heavyweight prospect David Adeleye will make his latest career step when he faces Chris Healey. Queensberry Promotions' promoter Frank Warren revealed he was delighted to be able to announce the full-card for the bumper domestic showdown later this month.
“I am delighted to finally be able to reveal what will be a competitive undercard in support of the big one that we have all been waiting for," Warren said. "I am also delighted that Tommy Fury will get to share some of the spotlight with his big brother after missing out on his big fight last year through illness. If Tommy keeps on winning and continues to shine, his big opportunities will soon follow."
What do you make of Tommy Fury's next opponent? Let us know in the comments section below
Fury was set to face the biggest payday of his career by settling his rivalry with YouTube star Paul in the US last year, but was forced to pull-out at late notice. It looks unlikely he will be able to face him next, with the rising star planning on making Fury wait for a rescheduled opportunity.
Despite failing to secure a rescheduled meeting, Fury has refused to put his career on hold and admitted he will not "wait" for any new date with Paul. "I really don't want to keep talking about this but I just can't stay silent after comments Jake Paul has made in a recent interview," Fury said. "I'm absolutely sick of Jake Paul saying that I was 'scared' to fight.
"I had a broken rib and a bacterial chest infection which left me completely medically unfit to box - as stated by multiple medical professionals. I'm now fit and healthy and have very clearly stated that I am ready to fight on a rescheduled date... but where is he?" This man never wanted to fight me, if he did we'd have a rescheduled date for you all and the fight would be back on which is exactly what I want... The easiest fight of my career."
