Frank Warren predicts likely location for any Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight

Frank Warren has named his preferred location for any clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

Joshua’s most recent fight was in March, when he beat Francis Ngannou with a second-round knockout.

Fury, meanwhile, is about two months away from his undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, shown live on DAZN PPV .

However, the two British fighters have been linked with a fight several times in the past, and speculation continues to link them with a bout before they retire from the sport.

Speaking to Sky Sports , Warren revelled in the chance to make huge fights now that Saudi Arabia has become so involved in the heavyweight division.

"I've got to be honest, I think that's where it will go," Warren said. "Of course, I'd like them in the UK.

"I look back when I was younger - all those many, many, many years ago - I look at all those really great fighters like Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, where did they put their big fight on? The Rumble in the Jungle [in what was then Zaire]. Where did George Foreman fight Frazier? In Jamaica. The Thriller in Manila. That's what happens. Because they went where the money is.

"Those fights I mentioned took place in places you'd never dream of boxing taking place. Traditionally it would have either gone to New York, then it became Vegas with the casinos.

"They're professional sportsmen. And boxers, unlike most sportsmen their career is very limited. One on your block and it can be all over. So you've got to make hay while the sun shines."
