Fury Hints At Surprise Big-Name Opponent

World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says fight fans can expect some 'massive news' about his next bout soon.

And the 27-year-old has hinted that he will be squaring off against a surprise opponent.

Fury captured the WBA, WBO and IBF titles (but was subsequently stripped of the IBF belt) when he out-pointed Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf last November.

And it was subsequently announced that the pair would square off again this year, Klitschko having exercised a rematch clause in his contract.

However, Fury tweeted on Saturday evening: "Some massive news coming soon, had to come to London for an urgent meeting about a massive fight, TBA very soon, u will not believe who!!!!!!"

Klitschko apart, other possible opponents for Fury include American WBC champion Deontay Wilder, Vyacheslav Glazkov of the Ukraine and unbeaten Brit Anthony Joshua.

The 26-year-old Joshua's camp have been in talks with IBF champion Charles Martin about a fight on 9 April.
