Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder are expected to confirm the date of their heavyweight clash set to take place later this year as boxing suddenly finds itself back in the headlines.

Fury saw off the feeble challenge of Italian Francesco Pianeta on Saturday night to book a date with Wilder. With that fight now added to a schedule featuring Anthony Joshua, George Groves, Carl Frampton and Amir Khan, fans will have to dig deep, says Jeff Powell in the Daily Mail.
