“But now we are told that he has. I would think around October because it starts getting too cold to do a football stadium in the UK.
“I think it will be a massive fight because of the guys involved and the money they are generating and how long people have been waiting for it.”
Warren forecasted the bout will probably take place at Wembley Stadium and will demolish the box office records for any contest. He added: “I think it will be a big, big fight and it may turn out to be the biggest.
“Wembley’s current biggest gate is Tyson and Dillian Whyte, that broke all the box office records for any type of event.
“This one has all the hype, so if it goes to Wembley then I would be surprised if it doesn’t break the record.”
The promoter also confirmed that the Fury v Joshua bout is currently a one-fight deal, though this could change depending on the outcome.
He explained: “I have no idea what AJ is getting, we thought he had signed and thought we would announce the fight after Tyson’s last fight, in the ring at Tottenham.
“But it turned out he hadn’t actually signed. But now they have announced his warm-up I am sure it is all signed.
“And I am sure there won’t be a slip-up. At the moment it is a one-fight deal.”
