Fury vs Wilder rematch to take place in US – but not California, says Frank Warren who expects fight before June
Promoter insists Gypsy King is ready to fight again this summer - but not in California after controversial draw decision
PROMOTER Frank Warren has dropped a major hint that Tyson Fury's rematch with Deontay Wilder will take place on US soil this summer and insisted his fighter is ready to return.
Warren confirmed that he is currently trying to make the fight as both Fury and Wilder want it to go ahead.
He added that Fury isn’t “complicated,” and will fight anyone anywhere following the pair's sensational draw in Los Angeles in December.
Warren told ESPN: “We’re trying to make that fight at the moment, everyone wants the fight and most importantly the fighters want it.
“The venue is looking like the US, that’s where the money is. Tyson was disappointed with the judging with the last fight, as I was, so a lot of things need to be sorted but the US is where they want it, probably in the second quarter.
“Vegas would be one of the options. I wouldn’t want to go back to California, I didn’t like working with the Californian commission and there were a lot of things we didn’t like there.
Wilder retained his WBC heavyweight title following the controversial draw at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on December 1.
Fury is down in Marbella, Spain at the MTK gym in preparation for the anticipated rematch with the Bronze Bomber.
“Tyson is already in the gym working hard, ticking over, and I think we would get it [the fight versus Wilder] before June.
Warren added: “We’re not complicated, Tyson is the most uncomplicated person you will meet, and he will fight anyone.
“He went to Germany to fight Wladimir Klitschko and he went to America to fight Wilder. It’s [Joshua’s promoters] Barry and Eddie Hearn’s agenda that complicates it. Joshua is their cash cow and they want to keep milking it.”
