Tyson Fury's boxing promoter hopes the world champion's next title fight will be on British soil.

Frank Warren said: "I would love that to happen but it's going to be his choice. If we needed to do it, and have to accommodate American times, we can do that as well.

"He's going to look at the opponent, the finances of the fight and where it takes place. Those are the three things then he'll make his choice."

Fellow Brit Dillian Whyte could be his next opponent - if he beats Otto Wallin at the end of the month.

In the past, Fury has spoken on BT Sport stating that he wants to fight "Dillan Whyte back in the UK, for the first time in years at a stadium up North somewhere. Manchester or something."

The Mancunian retained his WBC Heavyweight belt with an 11th-round knockout victory over Deontay Wilder at the weekend.

"I was down a couple of times, I was hurt. Wilder is a strong puncher," said Fury of his opponent.

"It was a great fight. I will not make any excuses. Wilder is a top fighter, he gave me a run for my money. I always say I am the best fighter in the world and he is the second best.

"Don't ever doubt me. When the chips are down I can always deliver."
