Timeline

Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, recently told ESPN that the two sides are in talks for the rematch.If a deal can be worked out then the fight wouldn’t take place in California and it would likely go down before June. It’s expected to do big business considering the first fight pulled in 325,000 PPV buys.

“The venue is looking like the U.S., 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 U.S. 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. There were a lot of things we didn’t like there. Tyson is already in the gym working hard, ticking over. I think we would get it [the fight versus Wilder] before June.”
