Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 in big trouble due to COVID-19 outbreak in Fury’s camp

Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3, scheduled for the 24th of July, later this month, is in danger of being postponed after a coronavirus outbreak in Tyson Fury’s camp. The fight came to fruition after an arbitrator ruled that Fury must face Wilder before September, this year amidst Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury almost being made official.

Reports of the fight being postponed have been a big disappointment for boxing fans around the world. Although there is no official confirmation of the same, the general consensus is that postponement is inevitable. The news was first reported by Mike Coppinger of ESPN, who later revealed that the organizers might be looking at events in August or September to be rescheduled.

‘No official determination yet on the fight’ – Mike Coppinger on Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3

Coppinger’s tweet read – “Sources: Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder 3 will likely be postponed after a COVID-19 outbreak in the heavyweight champ’s camp. No official determination yet on the fight proceeding as planned for July 24 in Las Vegas on ESPN+ PPV.“

He then weighed in a few options as to when the fight might take place in case it gets postponed. He wrote, “The fight is a joint PPV with FOX, which has Manny Pacquiao-Errol Spence Jr., on PPV on Aug. 21, meaning if the fight is postponed, September is more likely.”

Since the fight cannot be held on the 21st of August due to the joint PPV with FOX (as it clashes with Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr), a postponement would push the fight to September.

A statement from Top Rank claimed that the health status of Tyson Fury was being monitored continuously – “We continue to monitor the health status of Tyson and his team, and the status of the event has not changed to date.”

Will the fans get to see Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 on the 24th of July, or will it get postponed? It if gets postponed, who do you think will be the beneficiary?
