Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury reacts to news that he has waited for a long, long time, which came a short time ago.

UKAD have came to a resolution with Fury that will see him eligible to apply for a professional boxing license again with the British Boxing Board of Control.

Twitter and the boxing world has gone into a state of overdrive this afternoon following the news – that one of the sport’s most controversial characters is back.

He’s been training hard in recent weeks and in the early new year will have his opportunity once again to go after the heavyweight title.

Following the news, Fury has called out one Anthony Joshua for a massive showdown, saying:

“@anthonyfjoshua where you at boy? I’m coming for you punk ent no1 blocking my path now”

Fury released the following Instagram video a short time ago too, following his good news:

A Fury vs Joshua fight would no doubt be absolutely massive if it can be made in the future.

The earliest one would have thought it could be done though is the end of 2018.

Given Fury will need at least one comeback fight and Joshua is currently on course to face Joseph Parker next up.
