Fury’s next opponent remains a topic of debate, although a number of factors are beginning to point towards British world title hopeful Dillian Whyte.
The 33-year-old has a banana skin of his own to contend with later this month in Otto Wallin – a tricky Swedish fighter who previously went 12 rounds with Fury.
Of course, there are endless possibilities in a star-studded division but Anthony Joshua is likely to get a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, while Wilder has now been cast aside.
Fury’s return to a boxing ring in Manchester would be a huge event, but Ronaldo has certainly made plenty of headlines in his absence.
