TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk are “100 per cent” set to fight on a new target date – with two venues in the running to host.
The pair of unbeaten champions have been negotiating the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed decider since the new year.
Saudi Arabia are frontrunners to host on April 29 with the UK a back-up alternative.
Frank Warren told talkSPORT: “The fight will take place 100 per cent the last Saturday in April.
“Where it takes place I genuinely think will be determined within the next six or seven days maximum.
“If we can’t do what we’re being asked to do with Tyson and Usyk [in Saudi Arabia], then the fight will take place in the UK.”

Usyk, 36, is believed to have already come to financial terms with the Saudis.
Fury, 34, is now left to do the same and his Hall of Fame promoter Warren claimed they are getting close.
He said: “I don’t think we’re that far apart from where we need to get to.”
Wembley is another avenue promoters can explore if a deal in the Middle East cannot be agreed.

But Fury admitted he will follow the cash – even if that means heading to Derek Chisora’s back yard.
He said: “I’m a prizefighter. I go where the money is. If it’s in Saudi Arabia, if it’s in Hong Kong, or if it’s in Derek’s back garden.
“I go for the money. That’s what I do. I go in, get my brains beat out of me for a few quid.
“And it becomes obsessive, the old prize fighting game, and that’s why it’s difficult to walk away.”
