Deontay Wilder is telling everyone who cares to listen on both sides of the Atlantic that his rematch with Tyson Fury is happening in Las Vegas this spring.

Wilder does appear to be focused solely on Fury, saying of the Gypsy King's astounding lurch to his feet when flat on his back and apparently comatose in the last round of their first fight in Los Angeles: 'No-one will be able to wake him up next time.'
But if Fury declines the 40 per cent share of the purse allocated to him by the WBC, Wilder will have two
