Tyson Fury is waiting to discover if he is closer to a boxing return after attending a UK Anti-Doping hearing on Monday.

Fury is targeting a comeback fight on July 8, providing he overturns a suspended drugs ban, and the former heavyweight champion left the meeting shortly after 5pm on Monday.

The former heavyweight champion has not fought since ending the 10-year reign of Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015, due to a combination of drug issues and mental health concerns.

However, Fury, who is currently suspended by the British Boxing Board of Control, is hoping to clear his name and has already returned to light training.

Fury claims that Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has already pencilled in a fight between the pair in April 2018.

Fury told the Daily Telegraph: "Eddie Hearn has already booked Wembley Stadium for next April.

"There isn't another stadium where it should take place. I would fight Joshua in October but I believe Klitschko will take the rematch.

"Deep down, I don't think they want to fight me yet. Joshua struggled with Klitschko. And I took Klitschko to school, toyed with him, put my hands behind my back, literally, while he was letting his cannons go, slipping out of the way of them. They are not ready for that."
