Tyson Fury Vs. Deontay Wilder 3 is at risk of delay after the breakdown of COVID-19, per report

The 2021 heavyweight championship saga took another unexpected turn on Thursday when it learned that a COVID appearance at Tyson Fury’s camp had put it at risk of defending its planned WBC title against Deontay Wilder. The third fight between the two is scheduled for July 24 in Las Vegas, but according to several reports ESPN and Athletic, the two camps are gathering information on what the next steps are and whether the fight can continue.

“We continue to monitor the health status of Tyson and his team, and the status of the incident has not changed so far,” Fury’s Top Rank promoter said in a statement Thursday.

If the fight is delayed, it’s not clear where it can be included in the calendar and still be in the T-Mobile Arena. Manny Pacquiao and Errol Spence Jr. they are already clashing with the PPV to unite the welterweight on August 21st. The UFC has complained that the pitch is reserved for an event on Labor Day weekend. According to The Athletic, and Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk are finalizing a deal to fight on Sept. 25.

Approximately one source Athletic’s Lance Pugmire In Fury’s gym 10 people have tested positive and he still doesn’t know if Fury himself has tested positive.

Anger set in for the summer showdown with Joshua in a strange reunion of all four world titles initially recognized. Instead, Wilder secured a trilogy fight with Fury through an arbitrator’s ruling.

After the two men drew in December 2018, Fury won the February 2020 playoffs in the rematch. In the second fight there was a clause that guaranteed the loser to restart with the short side of the 60/40 bag part.

Among the demands to postpone the third meeting of the COVID pandemic and Joshua’s camp by 2021, Fury and his Top Rank promoters noted that time had run out in the clause and tried to mega-fight with Joshua to see hopes dashed. Wilder with a legal victory.

Postponing the fight to September or beyond will end the winner in hopes of unifying the titles against Joshua before the end of 2021.
