Frank Maloney has confirmed a formal offer has been made to Tyson Fury to fight David Price, with a deadline of Thursday set for the British heavyweight title holder to accept the deal.

Price added to his burgeoning reputation with a first-round knockout of John McDermott earlier in January.

There is talk, confirmed by Maloney, that Price may head for America and a potential clash with Josue Blocus in March could be a warm-up for the favoured option of an all-British fight with Fury the following month.

"We have made a formal offer to Fury and they have until Thursday to agree terms," Price's promoter Maloney told Sky Sports.

"We want that fight as quick as possible - he's got to defend it by the end of May but we're looking at April. I want to keep him fighting, keep him working."
