The Gypsy King retained his crown with an emphatic knockout in October 2013. Unification against Anthony Joshua was also planned.
AJ lost his title defense to Oleksandr Uzyk, and Fury is now focused on mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte.
The undefeated 6ft 9in ace asked Whyte for around PS5m to stand aside and let him fight Usyk.
But Whyte's men have worked hard to get Fury's belts. Warren confirmed the fight on Friday 28 January.
Fury stated, "I'm coming back baby." Prepare for the largest British dust-up since Lennox Lewis against Frank Bruno. The making of history
When is Tyson Fury vs Dillian Howte?
- Fury claims that the all-British showdown will take place in the UK, but no date has been announced.
- Fury has not fought in the UK in over a year since 2018, when he faced Sefer Seferi, Manchester, and Francesco Pianeta, Belfast.
Where is the fight taking place?
Although it is most likely that the event will take place in Cardiff or Manchester, details are not yet known.
Fury would make his return to the North West if he made it back to his roots three years after his win over Seferi.
The fight would be a great event for UK fighter fans. It is likely that the bout will take place at a more friendly time than the wilder 5am GMT epics.
What TV channel will it be and what live stream?
BT Sport Box Office was CONFIRMED as broadcasters of the fight.
BT tweeted to confirm the news, "The time for talk is over!" After many years of back-and-forth, the heavyweight fight is finally here!

They said it!
Tyson Fury "They are all only workouts for me, and I'll destroy any man that comes infront of me."
"It's due an easy fight anyway. [Dillian Whyte] really is ideal.
To be sincere, I want a heavy bag on my legs. He's the ideal candidate."
Dillian Whyte "Fury was mandated to fight with me twice.
"He requested the WBC Diamond' belt to be my opponent, but he ran away when they said yes. He just keeps making excuses.
"Hopefully, he doesn't have any other choice. What is he going to do about it? Toss the belt in the trash and get more money than he spent fighting Wilder.
"[Of Course] I'll finish him."
