Tyson Fury next fight: Brit wants Deontay Wilder rematch at Old Trafford

Tyson Fury wants a rematch with Deontay Wilder to take place at Old Trafford.

The United fan, who was controversially denied a points-victory over Wilder in Los Angeles on Sunday morning, called on promoter Frank Warren to get the rematch staged at Manchester United’s stadium.

When Warren was asked whether he would like to see a rematch in the UK, he replied that the bout would ‘fill a football stadium up’, before suggesting stadia such as ‘Wembley, Arsenal, any of those big stadiums…’

It was at this point that Fury, a Man Utd fan, called for it to be held at the Theatre of Dreams.

"Old Trafford, come on Frank!" interrupted Fury.

Immediately after the fight, speaking to BT Sport Box Office, promoter Warren was open-minded as to where the second bout could be staged. Either in the UK, or back in the States.

"In Britain that is an 80,000 job,” said Warren. “Vegas will be drooling for this. When was the last time you saw a great fight in USA. Tyson and Deontay have livened up this decision. The best fought the best but it was not the best decision."
