Tyson Fury vs Tom Schwarz: Where to watch the boxing in London

One of the biggest personalities in boxing returns to the ring this weekend, with Tyson Fury taking on Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas.

Fury will go head to head with the German at the MGM Grand on Saturday June 15.

The bout marks Fury’s first fight since his controversial draw with Deontay Wilder last December. Despite the judges' decision on that night, Fury appeared to dominate the bout and looked poised to win it after 12 rounds.

He will look to impress again on Saturday, in what could mark his last fight before taking on Anthony Joshua or a rematch with Wilder.

His opponent, Schwarz, is ranked second by the WBO and currently holds the Intercontinental heavyweight title. He also goes in undefeated, with 24 wins from 24 fights

Despite recent times marking something of a golden era for British heavyweight boxing, recent fights have taken place at awkward times for UK viewers. This one will be no different, with the bout itself beginning as late as 4am-5am on Sunday morning (BST).

Die-hard boxing fans will be staying up or setting their alarms early to watch the fight, but we’ve only been able to find Riley’s Haymarket showing the action in London.

Tickets are available to buy now. Early bird passes are £10. Guests can also buy early bird VIP tickets for £25, which includes a four-pint jug of beer.
