Albania’s Seferi holds a record of 23 wins from 24 fights, with 21 of his wins coming by way of knockout.

Fury is hoping to land a massive clash with Anthony Joshua in 2019 but recently revealed an exchange with Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn that he says could end negotiations before they begin.
“I said to Eddie Hearn I would fight Joshua in my comeback, but he said no chance,” said Fury to Manchester Evening News.
“I said get him in and I’ll beat the weightlifter now. He said no. Frank Warren picked Seferi because the other ones won’t fight me.”
