BOXING Promoter Bob Arum says Deontay Wilder will fight Tyson Fury for a third time this summer.

The Brit stopped Wilder in the seventh round of their WBC heavyweigh­t title last weekend after the pair drew their first bout in 2018.

Wilder had 30 days to call a rematch and Arum, Fury’s US promoter, says he has been ‘formally notified’ by the American’s team that they intend to do so. Arum said: “Wilder’s representa­tives formally notified us last night that they have accepted the rematch.

“It’s going to happen in the summer, before the Olympics.” The Olympics start on July 24.

Wilder’s decision is set to put a Fury-Anthony Joshua showdown on the backburner, with the latter set to defend his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles against Kubrat Pulev at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in June.
