Tyson Fury will return to the ring against unbeaten German contender Tom Schwarz, according to reports.
The 'lineal' heavyweight champion was last seen drawing with Deontay Wilder in December and many thought he would take an immediate rematch with the WBC king.
However, Fury instead signed a co-promotional deal linking him to US broadcaster ESPN and will now take a fight to gain exposure in America having opted out of the second Wilder bout.
It's claimed by ESPN Deportes that Schwarz will be the opponent on June 15 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
The undefeated 24-year-old is 24-0 with 16 KOs, however he has never faced an opponent even remotely close to Fury's level before.
A couple of recognisable names on Schwarz's record are Samir Nebo and Senad Gashi as they both fought on British soil last year.
Dave Allen knocked out Nebo in one round, while Schwarz stopped him in four.
Carlos Takam stopped Gashi in seven, while Schwarz beat him by disqualification after six. Dereck Chisora will now fight Gashi in his comeback next month.
Regardless, the German has made his way to #2 in the WBO rankings due to the fact he holds their 'Intercontinental' trinket belt. Fury is #4 in the same list.
