Fury made an offer to Joshua
Frank Warren has said that he expects Tyson Fury to face Anthony Joshua in November and that the fight will be held in the UK.
The news comes after Fury made an offer to Joshua’s team with the 32-year-old prepared to take on the challenge, tweeting on Monday: “Yea calm. I don’t do the online discussions just for clout, so if you’re really about it shout 258mgt. I’ll be ready in December. Khalas.”

Talks over the fight appear to be moving quickly with Fury’s promoter Warren confirming that the fight will take place in the UK if an agreement can be found.
“It will be in the UK and hopefully in November. That’s what we are looking at,” he told talkSPORT.
“How we make it work is that Tyson insists the fight is in the UK. So it’s got to work. He wants to fight here and deliver to the British fans.
“It will deliver a significant gate because there is massive interest from the British public and it will break all pay-per-view records. Whatever it generates is what it is worth.
“Once they confirm they are interest and accept the position where we are, we will work collectively to maximise the income between us. It depends what the price of the fight is, who knows what it would be price at. I personally think it could hit two million buys.
“The point is Tyson wants to fight here, that’s what he has said. He has said on numerous occasions that if he fights him he wants to fight him in the UK.”
Eddie Hearn, who is Joshua’s promoter, has said that if the fight is to take place in the UK, Cardiff’s Principality Stadium is the only suitable venue to host the fight.
He said: “That time of year, you’d only really have one choice which is the Millennium Stadium (Principality Stadium).
“You’re leaving a huge amount of money behind to do the fight in the UK, but, guess what, these two also have a huge amount of money.”
