It comes after footage emerged of him confirming on stage at a similar event that his long-awaited second battle with Wilder will take place on February 22 next year.
The bout is expected to be the final part of Fury's three-fight mega-deal with ESPN, believed to be worth around £80m.
He destroyed Tom Schwarz inside two rounds with a masterclass on his Las Vegas debut to kick-off life on the major network in the US.
All roads now lead to WBC champion Wilder, who demolished Dominic Breazeale in the first round of his last fight, provided both get through their next bouts.
The pair drew last December in a controversial encounter - and Fury outlined exactly why things will be different when they meet again.
In footage shared on YouTube, Fury says: "The Wilder rematch has been confirmed and signed. 22nd of February, it’s on.
“This time, I haven’t been out of the ring for three years. This time, I haven’t been abusing too much alcohol. And this time, I’m going to knock him the f**k out."
Wilder will lace up his gloves again for a second battle with Luis Ortiz in September, whilst Fury's next fight is expected to take place in October to set up the Wilder rematch.
