Fury, 24, who has caused controversy in the past on his social platform, is looking to extend his 20-0 record with a first contest in the United States on April 20 by fulfilling a lifelong dream to fight at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Opponent Cunningham is a seasoned campaigner at 200lbs, although the 36 year-old embarks on just a third outing since moving up the weights, one of which was a controversial loss to Tomasz Adamek last time out.
Fledgling professional Hughie Fury, cousin of Tyson, is also scheduled to participate in his third pro fight, with a second lined up for this Tuesday night in Toronto on the back of the 18 year-old’s successful debut last month.
