Promoter Frank Warren has confirmed that the venue and exact date for the highly anticipated super-fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are still undecided.
Warren stated he personally prefers a UK venue, but Las Vegas has been heavily rumored as a strong front-runner due to the preference of the broadcaster, Netflix.

“I’d love it to take place in the UK. But as I’ve tried to explain to everybody, until that meeting [with all the parties] takes place I don’t think anything is going to be determined where it takes place [or] the date it takes place,” Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, told Sky Sports.
“But whatever happens the fight is signed and it will happen. Because everyone wants it to happen.”
“Sela, who the contract’s with with Tyson, and I assume the same with AJ, they obviously have their preference where it will go. Netflix, who will broadcast it, they’re going to have their preference. At the end of the day everybody has got to agree and be satisfied.”
“My understanding is what his management said, and that is he is being promoted by Turki and by us. That’s how it is. I am very comfortable with that.
