Tyson Fury has predicted a fifth-round stoppage victory over Albanian Sefer Seferi in is big comeback fight at the Manchester Arena this Saturday.

The Gypsy King says he is then targeting a return to world title glory by the end of 2018.

Despite Seferi losing just once in 24 bouts, Fury goes in as the overwhelming favourite against the 39-year-old.

And the man himself can't picture any other result than a win on his return, after a difficult two and a half year break from the sport.

Speaking to Fighting Pride, the 'Gypsy King' said: “I don’t know what to expect from Seferi, he’s got me on edge really.

"I don’t know how good he is, I don’t know if he’s terrible - I don’t know if he’s excellent.

“He could be the second coming of Evander Holyfield who knows, but I know what I can do and I’m not really too bothered what he can do.

“As long as I do what I do I’ll get him out of there round five."

Targeting up to five fights in his first year back, Fury has teased a bout against the unbeaten Anthony Joshua down the line.

He added: “I’d like to be a world heavyweight champion again by the end of 2018. Active and busy and still undefeated."

Defeat to WBA heavyweight champion, Manuel Charr stands as the only defeat for Fury's opponent. Charr is expected to be at ringside and holds the title Fury will potentially look to hold by the end of the year.

Speaking to the Telegraph, the 29-year-old said: “Charr is a bona fide world heavyweight champion.

“The WBA belt goes back a long way and as far as I’m concerned, and the WBA 'Super' title is a paper title made up in 2011 for Wladimir Klitschko."

Joshua is the man who currently hold the 'Super' version, seen by most now as the genuine WBA world title.

Fury added: “[Deontay] Wilder, [Anthony] Joshua, [Tony] Bellew, [Dillian] Whyte, [Dominic] Breazeale, [Jarrell] Miller - there all Big fights, there’s 10 good heavyweights out there.”
“All young and relatively unbeaten, doing well."
