Tyson Fury vs Sefer Seferi fight time: When will the main event start in Manchester?
TYSON FURY and Sefer Seferi will be the last two men in the ring in Manchester as the “Gypsy King” makes his return to the ring for the first time since 2015.
GETTY
Fury will turn 30 this year and should be in his prime as a heavyweight but after two-and-a-half years out of action battling depression and cocaine use, he has some catching up to do.
This clash with Seferi, a largely unknown Albanian fighter who has campaigned at cruiserweight almost all his career, is a tune-up fight in every sense - and it would be a major upset if Fury even has to fight for more than six rounds before firing up the karaoke in the ring.
So when will the boxing get underway at the Manchester Arena?
Tyson Fury vs Sefer Seferi date and fight time
After such a long build-up and a number of false starts, Fury finally confirmed Saturday June 9 as the date for his next fight, at the Manchester Arena.
At the same venue nine months ago, his cousin Hughie fought Joseph Parker for the WBO heavyweight world title. Tyson was back in public again in February when George Groves fought Chris Eubank Jr in Manchester and afterwards led thousands of people down Deansgate in an impromptu parade that reminded the boxing world of his popularity even during inactivity.
The first fight on Tyson’s own card is as early as 3.30pm with a busy undercard, topped by Terry Flanagan and Maurice Hooker facing off for the vacant WBO super-lightweight world title.
Fury himself will be in the ring after 10pm and is expected to get underway around 10.15pm.
