Tyson Fury to face Tom Schwarz on June 15th

Promoter Frank Warren confirmed on social media that, "It’s official. Tyson Fury (pictured) returns on June 15th against Tom Schwarz in his Las Vegas debut." Fury, of course, is the former world heavyweight champion and most believe he deserves to have the WBC championship currently around his waist based on his last performance against Deontay Wilder, which was scored a draw. Schwarz, from Germany, is 24-0 but is not that highly regarded by boxing experts. Fury-Schwarz will be the first fight of Fury's relationship with ESPN, which derailed the Wilder-Fury rematch by signing Fury to a very lucrative broadcast deal which included a generous bring-your-own-opponent first fight.
