Tyson Fury to fight Tom Schwarz at the iconic MGM Grand in Las Vegas

Tyson Fury has never been to Las Vegas - but that will all change on June 15 as he takes on Tom Schwarz at the iconic MGM Grand.

The Gypsy King vowed never to set foot in city with a rich boxing history until he was stepping into the ring with his name in lights.

Fury penned a big-money co-promotional deal with Bob Arum's Top Rank after his draw with Deontay Wilder in December to take him to the ESPN platform in America.

And his first bout since his dramatic Wilder showdown has been confirmed for the MGM Grand to be screened on ESPN+ in the USA after previous reports it would be held at the Thomas and Mack Center.

Fury's deal with Frank Warren means BT Sport will hold the UK broadcasting rights to the fight, the latest step in his remarkable comeback story.

Unbeaten German heavyweight Schwarz was a surprise name for the Gypsy King's latest bout - but Fury has vowed to put on a "boxing masterclass" as he fulfills a lifelong ambition of fighting in Vegas.

"I'm absolutely delighted to be boxing in Las Vegas on ESPN+. I always said I will never go to Vegas until I box there, and now I finally am," Fury told ESPN .

"I can't wait to put on a boxing master class for all my fans. The British and Irish fans will invade Vegas. I can't wait!"

Schwarz, meanwhile, admits he has nothing to lose as he vowed to stun the world with a remarkable upset.

"This is what I've been working for since I was a kid," Schwarz said.
