Fury vs Wilder 3 postponed

TYSON FURY’S trilogy clash with Deontay Wilder has been postponed until October because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Fury vs Wilder 3 was slated for July 18 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Fury defeated Wilder via seventh-round TKO last month and the Bronze Bomber immediately enforced his contractual right to a rematch and promoter Bob Arum said that July 18 would see the third fight occur. But because of the coronavirus, the fight now won’t take place until at least October. “Clearly not (going to happen in July). We don’t even know if the MGM will even be open by then,” Arum told ESPN. “You could not guarantee the fighters that the event would take place on that date. We couldn’t convince them or ourselves. Where were they going to train for it? It just made no sense. You just have to take a step back. How are you going to sell tickets? It’s absolutely ridiculous to say the fight is on when the Brits can’t even get there. So everybody has to take a step back. Boxing is not isolated… Nobody has ever experienced anything like this before.”
