The unification fight has been tentatively planned for December 17. Saudi Arabia could provide the money with the planned fight date one day before the World Cup final takes place in neighbouring Qatar. Saudi minister for sport, Prince Mohammad Abdulaziz, says the country is ‘very interested’ in hosting the event.
Warren has also highlighted a shortage of venues in the UK which might prevent a home fight for Fury. “At the end of the day, it’s where the most money can be generated,” said Warren, “There would be (demand to have the fight in the UK), but where would you put it on? We wouldn’t be able to put it on until next year,” Warren said.
