Negotiations have stalled between Wilder and Anthony Joshua, which has opened the door for Fury to stake his claim for a title shot.
After Saturday night's impressive victories for both Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora, it had been suggested that the British heavyweights would make sense as potential options for Fury but 'The Gypsy King' has set himself a greater target.
"Well, actually they’re two competitive and very good fighters but, with due respect to them, we’re actually trying to make the fight with Deontay Wilder," Warren said on talkSPORT.
"First of all we want to see what he looks like on the August 18. Hopefully he will come through it well, but reports from the gym are that he’s looking well.
"Tyson, as he’s said himself, has been talking about Wilder in the last few weeks and it’s a fight I think the British fans would like to see.
"It wouldn’t happen in the autumn, if it happens it will be sometime in November or December.
"That’s where I would like to see him, providing he comes through okay and that’s no disrespect to anybody. He’s the lineal champion. He’s the guy who hasn’t been beaten. He lost his belt outside the ring."Explore more on these topics:
