May 26 (Reuters) - Tyson ⁠Fury has indicated his next fight ⁠will be in Dublin on August 1, ‌before a heavyweight clash with fellow-Briton Anthony Joshua in November.

The opponent for the 'warm-up' is as yet unnamed but ​promoter Frank Warren said he ⁠hoped to make ⁠an announcement later this week.

Former world champion Joshua ⁠is ‌due to fight Albanian Kristian Prenga in Riyadh on July 25 ⁠in the Briton's first fight since he ​was in ‌a car accident last December that killed ⁠two close ​friends.

Fury, also a former champion, posted a video on Instagram on Tuesday showing him back ⁠in training in Thailand.

The caption ​was "let’s go August 1, Dublin, Ireland.”

Warren said Fury would be facing a good opponent and ⁠could not afford to slip up.

"(Joshua's) got to come through that (fight with Prenga), Tyson has to come through his, and then the ​big one will be in ⁠November," he told Sky Sports television.

Fury's last ​fight was a comprehensive points ‌win over Russia's Arslanbek ​Makhmudov on April 11.
