Peter Fury, uncle and trainer for WBO/IBO/WBA heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18KO), says Wladimir Klitschko is not resistant to their rematch taking place in the UK.
Fury stunned the sport last November when he boxed his way to a twelve round unanimous decision over Klitschko (64-4, 53KOs) in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Klitschko initiated a contractual clause for an immediate rematch and the two sides are still working out the details for the venue and the date.
Fury told Sky Sports: "We are trying to locate and secure the venue and get moving forward. I'm hoping sometime soon we can get it announced. Nothing is set and it all depends on the venue.
"The fight is going to take place in one of two places; it's either going to be in the UAE or in the United Kingdom. It's a toss-up between the two and talks are ongoing. The best package will take it. It's just about maximising revenue.
"Klitschko is happy to come to London and fight in the UK. He hasn't got a problem with it. Neither fighter is really bothered where it's at. Tyson would prefer it in England. I would as well but it's about where it makes the most revenue. That's contracted."
While their discussions continue to play out, Tyson is staying in shape by running and working with weights in the gym. Once the date is finalized, Tyson will step up the level of his training.
"He's still training. He's running and he's on the weights in the gym. He's keeping himself steady. There's no point in coming back in to a heavy training camp when you haven't even got a date. We're waiting to fix the date, then I'll speak with him and get him back in to camp."
