Fury has his date

TYSON FURY will now face Deontay Wilder on October 9.

The pair’s WBC heavyweight title clash was set for next weekend but Fury tested positive for Covid-19 last week.

That forced a delay to their third fight but they will face each other at the T-mobile Arena in Las Vegas three months later.

Fury said: “I wanted nothing more than to smash the ‘Big Dosser’ on July 24, but I guess the beating will have to wait.

“I will knock him spark out.”

Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel added: “This is what we went to arbitration for.

“He is ready to reclaim his world title.”
