Tyson Fury snatched the WBC heavyweight belt from rival Deontay Wilder
Wilder has confirmed that he will exercise his rematch clause for a summer trilogy fight with the 31-year-old.

And Fury has revealed that he will take on Anthony Joshua if the Bronze Bomber does not want a third fight.


Whoever the new WBC heavyweight champion takes on next, the Saudi Arabians want it to take place on their turf.

Prince Khaled was one of the Saudi royal family members in attendance at the MGM Grand on Saturday night.

The 41-year-old has been ordered by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to bring major sporting events to their country.

He worked alongside promoter Eddie Hearn to bring Joshua’s December rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr to the Middle East.


Fury’s promoter Frank Warren has refused to rule out the chance of Fury taking on British rival AJ in Saudi Arabia.

He said: “In a dreamscape it should be in London, but they’re professional athletes. These guys have short careers, they go where the money is.

“I don’t know where it’s going to take place. Wherever the most money comes from.

“It’s the boxers who get in the ring and they’ll make the choices.”


The rematch between Fury and Wilder is contracted to go ahead on July 18, but it could be delayed until October.

Promoter Bob Arum claimed the the third would take place in the United States due to an agreement in their contract.


Fury suggested the rematch should take place in the US at the 70,000 capacity Las Vegas Raiders Stadium.

He said: “I expect he [Wilder] will want a rematch and I will have that. Great fights should have trilogies.
