Tyson Fury names likely opponent for comeback fight as Australian bout looms

Tyson Fury has named Australian Demsey McKean as the frontrunner for his next fight, likely to take place in Australia at the end of the summer.

The world heavyweight champion wants to fight once more before the end of the year, when he is expected to face Oleksandr Usyk in an highly anticipated undisputed title clash. And it appears that a meeting with McKean in his home country of Australia is the next stop for Fury, who is keen to be a true champion of the world by defending outside of just the UK and America.

McKean is far from the top few heavyweights, but is an undefeated southpaw, which Fury says could help him to prepare for former cruiserweight champion Usyk. His management have confirmed that talks are underway, and now the Brit claims that he is closing in on a deal to fight in Australia.
