DEONTAY WILDER is set to enact his rematch clause with Tyson Fury to bring the Brit back to the United States for a third showdown.
A seventh-round technical knockout in Las Vegas’ MGM Grand won Fury the WBC heavyweight world title belt on the weekend.

And the pair are set to lock horns once again later in the year with Wilder possessing a contractual stipulation to turn their rivalry into a trilogy.
Fury has already staked his claim for appearing in front of 70,000 fans at the under-construction Allegiant Stadium.
Set to host the Las Vegas Raiders NFL team when it moves for the new season, the venue is just one option with the fight reportedly nailed on for taking place in the US.
Boxing journalist Dan Rafael told talkSPORT on Wednesday: “Contractually, it will be in the United States, but where in the United States remains to be seen.
“Most likely you’d imagine it would be in a big place like New York, LA or Vegas, but it will definitely be in America. They’re obligated to be here.”
After the weekend’s rematch produced record ticket sale figures for the 15,000-seater Garden Arena, Fury appeared keen to show off his skills in front of as many people as possible.
He stated: “I expect he will want a rematch and I will have that. Great fights should have trilogies.
“And I want it here, just across the road, at the Raiders Stadium outdoors in front of 70,000.”
First conceived in January 2016, Allegiant Stadium is set to cost £1.4billion and open in July – with the fight itself touted for the same month.
Alternative venues commonly hosting world title fights include New York’s Barclays Center and Madison Square Garden – where Anthony Joshua famously lost to Andy Ruiz Jr – or Los Angeles’ Staples Center.
Meanwhile, British fans may miss out even if Fury takes on AJ in a heavyweight unification bout anyway, with Saudi Arabia lining up a £400m bid to stage the showdown.
