      Tyson Fury's team claim his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko will take place on July 9 in Manchester - but there is still no confirmation from the former champ's camp.

      Fury's uncle, trainer and manager Peter Fury has tweeted to say it will be on July 9 in Manchester .

      The venue will be Manchester Arena, although that has not been confirmed by Fury 's team.

      There has also been no official confirmation and no comment yet from Klitschko's team.

      The rematch clause in the original fight contract stipulated that the contest must take place where it will make most money and it remains to be seen if Manchester Arena fits that description for Klitschko's team.

      An added complication is the fact that Eddie Hearn has pencilled in July 9 for Anthony Joshua's first title defence if he wins the IBF heavyweight crown from Charles Martin tomorrow.

      It would be promotional suicide to stage two huge heavyweight shows on the same night because it would split the audience.

      Manchester Arena has staged world heavyweight title fights before and David Haye defended his WBA crown against John Ruiz and Audley Harrison there in 2010.

      Fury's camp have looked at different venues in the North West because the WBA Super and WBO champ wants home advantage.

      However they ran into problems trying to agree a deal for Old Trafford, while Bolton's Macron was also ruled out, despite high-level talks.

      Manchester City's Etihad was a non-starter because Fury is a Manchester United fan.

                      Lucas Browne believes his failed drugs test was down to eating a steak in Russia and is planning to take a polygraph test in a bid to prove his innocence. He said,

                      (After the fight), the people from VADA tested Chagaev first and I had to wait around for two hours after the fight to do our test. The A Sample tested positive, but we're going to ask VADA to open the B sample. We're under the assumption that since the A sample was tainted, the B sample will be too. It's the same urine. But you never know, because (former world middleweight champ) Sam Soliman's B sample came back negative. I've also sent some underarm hair follicles to give us a good reading of what's going on and I'm going to do a polygraph (lie detector) test, as I know I'm innocent. If I failed the test, I think it had to have been put in my system the day of the fight or the day before. If I'm not mistaken, we had the official weigh-in for the fight on the morning the day before the fight and then a big publicity extravaganza that night. Me and another boxer, Brian Minto, from America were the only fighters given steaks. My assumption is that something was in the steak.
