A third fight between WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury and American Deontay Wilder is on and set for the United States by early July, promoter Frank Warren said on Monday.
Fury took the title in Las Vegas on 22 February with a seventh-round stoppage of Wilder, who fought the former Irish heavyweight champion to a split-decision draw in their first meeting in December 2018.
Warren had said he wanted Fury to fight Anthony Joshua next in a world title unification bout but Wilder had a rematch clause.
"He's invoked the rematch clause so that is what we are working towards," Warren told talkSPORT radio.
"It’s contracted to take place in the States. That is in the contract and set in stone unless anyone agrees differently. But at the moment it is due to take place in the US," added the promoter.
"It will take place by the end of June, early July, no later than that."
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has already indicated that he is keen on the all-British showdown should both be successful in their next bouts.
Joshua will face Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev, the IBF's mandatory challenger, at Tottenham Hotspur's 62,000-seater stadium on 20 June.
The Englishman defeated Mexican-American Andy Ruiz Jr in a December rematch in Saudi Arabia to win back his IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO world titles.
The 38-year-old Pulev, who is mandatory challenger for Joshua's IBF belt, had originally been due to face the Briton in 2017, but withdrew due to injury.
The experienced Pulev last challenged for a version of the world title in 2014, when he was stopped in five rounds by Wladimir Klitschko.
