The Staples Centre in Los Angeles will host the WBC heavyweight world title fight between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury on December 1.

The bout between the 32‑year‑old American champion Wilder and 30 year old Briton Fury was confirmed last weekend.

But the venue has now been named with the Staples Centre, home of NBA sides the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers, getting the nod.

It will be only the third bout of Fury's comeback ‑ after defeating Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta.

Wilder will have held the WBC title for almost four years when he meets Fury, with both fighters boasting undefeated records.

Anthony Joshua holds the division's other three belts and retained his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight straps with a seventh‑round stoppage of mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin last weekend.
