Tyson Fury’s co-promoter Frank Warren is confident an all-British undisputed heavyweight title fight with Anthony Joshua will happen.
But he added both fighters will “go where the money is” when it comes to deciding where they meet.
Warren is hoping Joshua successfully defends his belts against Oleksandr Usyk in London on Saturday.
“Let’s keep our fingers crossed. I’ll be cheering like a lunatic for Anthony Joshua, as will Tyson,” Warren said.
“We want the fight.”
Joshua, 31, is defending his WBA (Super), IBF and WBO heavyweight titles against Ukraine’s Usyk at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Fury, 33, will then face his third fight with Deontay Wilder next month in Las Vegas – the bout that forced the original plans for a match-up with Joshua to be shelved.
But Warren remains optimistic the two Britons will meet.
“I’m confident it’ll happen if Joshua and Tyson win their respective fights, yes, definitely,” he told BBC Sport.
“That’s going to be the issue, winning their fights. Hopefully nothing will go wrong. These are big guys, big heavyweights – anything can happen.”
