    Or will he demand home country advantage?

    It's only fair that the rematch be in the UK.

    I'll be shocked if it's in the UK, Wilder will again want every advantage possible. Fury is only going to be even better 2nd time round so if Wilder agrees to it being in the UK he might as well just give his belt to Fury now.

    Question is will Fury want agree to the rematch in the US, probably not, which suits Wilder. It gives Wilder another reason to demand the rematch is in the US again, because he can then say Fury is ducking him for not taking it in the US.

    Isn't it a little odd to be asking if Wilder "has the courage to rematch Fury in the UK?" When he has about 40 professional fights under his belt and seemingly takes an obscene amount of punishment everytime he doesnt stretch his opponent early? Surely if there is one thing Wilder haters have to give him credit for is his balls/courage/resilience under fire?

    Knowing Wilder and how much he wants to be a household name it wouldn’t surprise me. Also, it would be a very easy sell in the UK considering the controversy of the first fight with Fury.

    Wilder has been very cautiously matched, he's mostly fought shot boxers like Arreola and limited chinny clubfighters like Szpilka.

    He's avoided better heavyweights like Breazeale, Whyte, Miller, Takam, Povetkin, Parker, and of course Joshua.

    I think he head too take the fight in the UK. Public opinion is overwhelmingly in Firy’s favor and on top of that, Fury has other options he can take. So I think the fight does happen and I think it will be in the Uk. We will see.

    I don't think Deontay Wilder makes any decisions. Highly likely he's just told who he fights and when.

    In the UK, that fight gets waved off in the 12th. Can't see a British ref taking up the count

    Wilder should go to the UK & fight for the lineal championship in Manchester.

    A win would give his championship reign the legitimacy he has always craved.

    He can negotiate a rematch clause for a third fight in the US in the event of a loss.

    The fight should be in Manchester, not London, btw Frank. That's where the King of the North should make his stand.

    Can't agree, the only fighter who could be better is Wilder, if he learns what a jab is , and attacks behind it he'd kill Fury

    To be fair to Wilder, he’s shown willingness to fight abroad previously with Povetkin.

    Only difference is Fury’s already outboxed him. If he were to take the rematch in the UK and come out with the W that’d massively enhance his position with the Joshua fight

    I'm fairly sure they'll fight where it makes the most money.
