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.
Fury declared, as the fight was announced: “I'm coming back baby.” Prepare for the largest British fight since Lennox Lewis against Frank Bruno. The making of history
It was later confirmed that Whyte had signed his part of the agreement in the early hours this morning.
Participation will see Whyte earn approximately PS6million, while Fury will bank a more substantial PS23.5m.
