Quite the bit of promotion to be fair.
Over the past number of months Fury has lost an astonishing amount of weight that has been conveyed in his regular training updates alongside coach Ben Davison.
While the exact figure for the amount he has lost so far is not known, it surely has to be at least six or seven stone from what he was last year.
June 9th gives him plenty of time too – to get in even better shape in a bid to get some of his old timing back.
Expect him to box twice this year before going back in with the top dogs in the division in 2019.
What a time for heavyweight boxing once again.
