Report: Upcoming Fury-Wilder Fight in Jeopardy After COVID-19 Outbreak

A COVID-19 outbreak in Tyson Fury's camp is putting his July 24 championship fight against Deontay Wilder in jeopardy, according to ESPN's Mike Coppinger.

While no official determination has been made on whether the fight will take place, ESPN is reporting that the fight will inevitably be postponed.

"We continue to monitor the health status of Tyson and his team and the status of the event has not changed to date," Top Rank Boxing said in a statement to Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix.

According to ESPN, if the upcoming Wilder-Fury fight is postponed, it would likely be rescheduled for September.
