Warren: Tyson Fury will fight even if he can't box Deontay Wilder

Tyson Fury's promoter Frank Warren does not believe that the proposed fight with Deontay Wilder will go ahead of 2020 and says that will search for another opponent to keep Fury mentally sharp. The fight between Fury and Wilder was scheduled on December 19 but Bob Arum has suggested that a fight for that date would not be possible, and a new date is currently in works. "He wants to fight for obvious reasons, he's been training hard as a lot of fighters have,” Warren told BT Sport. "It's not just about the money with him, it's about getting back out there. "I think it's getting to him a bit as it is a lot of fighters. It's well documented the problems he had getting back and boxing has been his saviour. "We have got to keep him focussed that he can fight, he wants to fight. "If we can't get the Wilder fight, we have got to look at something else, work between us and work with everyone concerned.” With the importance of boxing to Fury’s mindset, Warren explained "At the end of the day all I care about is Tyson, that his wellfare and wellbeing is being catered for. "So somehow we got to get him out, get our thinking caps on and get our hands in someone's pockets and get it on. "He's the best he's ever looked, and more importantly he is on it mentally, and I don't want him to lose that edge. “And I don't want him to get despondent about it, so we all got to work together to make sure something happens. "Some time next week we will work it out, say 'right these are the options, what do you want to do', and it's going to be his decision. "He's the champion and he is the driving seat. Next week we will see what we got." source - DAZN
