The trilogy between heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder is still supposed to be next, but it’s a matter of which date.
This matchup was slated for the summer before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, then pushed back to the fall, then pushed further to December 19th at the newly built Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Top Rank Boxing’s Bob Arum confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday that to avoid going up against a big Saturday of college football and NFL games, they’re looking for a new date.
“We’re moving off because there’s five conference championship games that day and night, plus two NFL games,” Arum said.
