There’s no way to know for sure what’s behind the decision to postpone the third Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder fight, but a few hints have emerged regarding the reason for the postponement. First, a pandemic and COVID-19 outbreak have both been factors in the fight’s postponement. But, in the meantime, the fight promoters are crafting an official statement with refund information.
tyson fury vs deontay wilder fight postponed
The Tyson-Deontay Wilder heavyweight fight has been postponed after the fighters’ camp failed multiple drug tests. According to a source with World Boxing News, the COVID-19 test was the culprit for the postponement. As for the other suspects, Wilder, who had been testing negative for the same drug, refused to answer questions during the pre-fight news conference.
The matchup was due to take place in December, but the two sides were already engaged in trash talk and threatening each other with run-ins. Both sides are now in Vegas training for the fight, which could now take place at a later date. Fury, meanwhile, has already said he wants to fight Wilder again in 2021.
The ringside testing was a result of a positive test for the British heavyweight champion’s drugs, Covid-19. Wilder’s camp, meanwhile, reported that Fury’s teammates had tested positive for the same drug, meaning he will have to wait a bit longer to get his revenge. Despite this setback, however, the boxer’s team has said that he is still hopeful that he can get the fight he so desperately wanted.

fight undercard of tyson fury vs deontay wilder
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder’s fight is in danger of being postponed after an outbreak of COVID-19 was discovered in his training camp, ESPN reported. A top Rank spokesman confirmed that “unfortunately,” the July 24 bout was being postponed, as the boxer is currently dealing with the illness. The two fighters first fought on December 20 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and the British heavyweight then dominated the American in the rematch in February.
Tyson Fury and his team have denied that the COVID-19 outbreak was the reason behind the postponement, citing negligence and the vaccination of his opponent by Pfizer. The fighters have not yet been notified of the reason behind the postponement. Wilder’s camp, on the other hand, has stated that he’s unable to comment.
Despite the adversity, it’s important to note that the fighters weighed in at career-high weights. Wilder’s conditioning was not sufficient to stand up to Wilder’s body attack, and he was unable to keep his opponent off of him until the very end of the fight. However, the fighters fought to a split draw.
Despite the lack of time and resources, both men will now be able to compete for the WBC title. This is a rematch of Wilder’s first two fights, and the winner will move on to a unification bout with Oleksandr Usyk, which could happen after the winner of the Fury-Wilder fight. The rematch is scheduled because Anthony Joshua activated his rematch clause in his bout against the Ukrainian.
