Warren details plans for Fury's next fight if he beats Wilder on Saturday

Tyson Fury will most likely fight in the UK next, with Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk and Dillian Whyte all possible opponents for him, says promoter Frank Warren, if he can beat Deontay Wilder in their trilogy bout this weekend.

Fury and Wilder meet for a third time in Las Vegas on Saturday night, with the Gypsy King looking to defend his WBC and Ring Magazine heavyweight titles.

If he is successful it would be his second victory over the American and put Wilder out of the title picture, at least for now, while Fury would be looking for a new challenge.

The Brit hasn’t boxed on home soil since 2018 and Warren expects his next bout to be back in the UK, although he is by no means sure who it will be against, naming three possibilities at this stage.

‘There’s no Yanks out there for him to fight. I think he’ll be back here which will be a great homecoming,’ Warren, Fury’s co-promoter told BBC Sport of his client’s next bout.

‘If Tyson wins the fight we’ll sit down. There’s a few options there. Usyk would be a massive fight here. The Joshua fight is still a massive fight.

‘Dillian Whyte is a big fight, providing he beats Otto Wallin [30 October] which isn’t a forgone conclusion. There’s some big fights for him.’

Joshua and Usyk are due to rematch in February, so it would be a long wait if Fury wanted to face the winner, so Whyte seems the much more likely next opponent if he does beat Wallin, especially as the Bodysnatcher holds the WBC interim title.

The previously mammoth potential clash between Joshua and Fury became notably smaller when AJ lost his WBA, WBO and IBF world titles to Usyk last month, but Warren is confident the public would still be heavily interested in the all-British scrap nonetheless.

‘I do believe the public buys into that fight even if AJ isn’t champion,’ he said. ‘AJ’s said a lot of things since the fight [and] a lot of nonsense from ‘doctor’ [Eddie] Hearn about his eye.

‘You got beat by the better man on the night and Joshua said that, to his credit.

‘Joshua is a big fight. They keep talking about him still learning. He’s 32 years old. He’s an Olympic champion and world champion.

‘Of course you can still learn every day, but at that level, at 32 years of age, with the experience you’ve got and the amount of professional fights you’ve got, if you’re not absolutely world class at that level then you’re never going to be.

‘But having said that, if he did fight Tyson he would have a lot to prove and I do think the public would buy into it.’
