he has been heavily linked with a comeback as the months have rolled on, including a two-fight deal with Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n<p>Terms have yet to become official, and Fury has shut down hopes of a return, but the Briton is certainly no stranger to a comeback.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Gypsy King&#8217; beat <a href=\"https:\/\/talksport.com\/who\/wladimir-klitschko\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wladimir Klitschko<\/a> in November 2015 in one of the greatest victories from a British fighter on foreign soil.<\/p>\n<p>But his mental health took a significant turn for the worse and the highs of the victory reached lows, with the rematch failing to take place.<\/p>\n<p>He piled on weight and it appeared his boxing career could be over as the months went on.<\/p>\n<p>But in one of the most inspiring stories in sporting history, Fury shed 140lbs [ten stone] to return into fighting shape.<\/p>\n<p>And he announced his comeback fight alongside new promoter <a href=\"https:\/\/talksport.com\/who\/frank-warren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Frank Warren<\/a>, as he would take on Seferi in hometown Manchester.<\/p>\n<p>The Albanian had one defeat to his name but was overmatched, with Fury keen to get back to winning ways after three years away from the ring.<\/p>\n<p>But he showed little signs of ring rust as he battered away any cobwebs with a dominant display.<\/p>\n<p>And his 924 days of inactivity in the ring were short lived as he upped the ante in the fourth round.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Fury returned to
