Oleksandr Usyk is in talks to fight Tyson Fury
And the Middle East is the frontrunner to host with a hefty fee to bring the pair over expected to be tabled.
Although Fury’s UK promoter Frank Warren revealed London is still in the frame for the fight as talks enter the final stages.
Warren told iFL TV: “The date will probably be in March. That’s basically where we’re at, early March.
“But no location has been finalised, once we get the fight done then the rest will just fall into place.
“We’re still negotiating as to the site but until we’ve got the fight done then we’ve got nothing.
“Let’s get the fight done and then get to where it’s going to take place. You never know, it could take place at Wembley.
“The decision will be made with the site very quickly because we want to get it on in March, and if we want it to go on in March it has to go on sale soon, no matter where it takes place.
“We are not going to mess around and put one against the other, it is going to be about where the boys can make the most money.”
Twice Saudi Arabia has prised Anthony Joshua, 33, over to the desert, most recently in defeat to Usyk, 35, in August.
Meanwhile Fury, 34, in 2022 sold over 150,000 tickets for his stadium wins over Dillian Whyte, 34, in April and Derek Chisora, 38, last month.
Usyk was ringside to watch on in December as Chisora was dominated over ten rounds, setting up the unification bout.
And although Warren failed in talks for Joshua to last year fight Fury, he is confident a deal can be struck with Usyk.
He said: “There’s a big will to make this fight happen between both camps. It’s just a matter of where and how much.
“But absolutely they’re good people to deal with and we’re all pretty positive about getting it over the line.
“I said that about Joshua a few months ago so I don’t want to tempt fate until it’s signed it don’t mean nothing as I always say.
“But at the moment everybody looks like they want it to happen, especially the fighters and it’s a great fight, a big fight.”
