Just over two weeks out from the heavyweight trilogy showdown between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, it looks as if we’ll have to wait a little longer for that rivalry to reach its conclusion.
ESPN’s Mike Coppinger reported on Thursday that an outbreak of COVID-19 within Tyson Fury’s camp is likely to postpone the matchup from July 24th to potentially September. Top Rank Boxing, which is co-promoting this event, did not officially announce any changes to the fight date.
“We continue to monitor the health status of Tyson and his team, and the status of the event has not changed to date,” a statement from Top Rank said.
