LONDON — Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is returning to the ring after serving a doping ban.
The Briton has signed with promoter Frank Warren and plans to fight on June 9 at Manchester Arena.
Fury has not fought since beating Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015 to win the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, a result that shocked boxing and revitalized the heavyweight division.
The British Boxing Board of Control suspended Fury in 2016 for drug and medical issues, amid a separate U.K. Anti-Doping investigation. That UKAD case ended in December when Fury accepted a backdated two-year doping ban for elevated levels of nandrolone in urine samples.
