Tyson Fury ‘set to face Tom Schwarz in June’ in first fight of mega-money ESPN deal

TYSON FURY is set to face unbeaten German Tom Schwarz in June, according to reports.

The Brit, 30, has already announced he will fight in Las Vegas next after signing a mega-money ESPN deal.

Now, ESPN Deportes claims Fury's next opponent will be revealed when Kubrat Pulev and Bogdan Dinu clash this weekend.

Schwarz, 24, stands at 6ft 5ins and has won 16 of his 24 bouts inside the distance.

But he has not fought at world level and a fighter of Fury's calibre would be a huge step up.

Viva Las Vegas

Fury is fresh off the back of a five-fight £80million ESPN deal and was expected to take a re-match with WBC champ Deontay Wilder after a controversial draw.

Instead Dominic Breazeale will get a shot at the strap on May 18, with the Gypsy King looking at alternatives.

Asked about his plans for the year, Fury told MTK Global: “Vegas next baby.

"We want Vegas next to give the fans something to travel to for an event this summer. That’s what we want and what we’re gearing up to.

“I can’t wait for my date and next fight, I want to be back in action immediately and I’m ready to rock and roll.

“At this level it’s hard to get loads of fights. I want three fights minimum, but the longer it goes into the year the more unlikely that becomes.

"It is what it is, it’s boxing at the highest level and that’s the way it’s always been."
