Tyson Fury's second fight with Top Rank and ESPN appears set, as the lineal heavyweight champion will square off with Otto Wallin of Sweden on Sept. 14, Keith Idec of Boxing Scene reports.

The heavyweight bout will take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Fury (28-0-1) is coming off a second-round knockout of Tom Schwarz in June. He was expected to take another fight in 2019 before a rematch with Deontay Wilder in early 2020.

Wallin (20-0) is a 6-foot-5 southpaw who is coming off a no-contest against Nick Kisner in April. The two clashed heads midway through the first round, resulting in a cut over Kisner's right eye.

Wilder is also scheduled to fight before the much-anticipated rematch with Fury, as he'll take on Luis Ortiz in November.
