- Arum says fight will not be held on 18 July as planned
- ‘Everybody has to take a step back. Boxing is not isolated’
The anticipated third bout between heavyweights Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will be pushed back from 18 July due to the coronavirus pandemic and possibly rearranged for October, Top Rank chairman Bob Arum told ESPN on Tuesday.
Britain’s Fury stopped American Wilder in the seventh round of their 22 February rematch in Las Vegas to capture the WBC title and remain undefeated from 31 fights, after battling Wilder to a draw in their first encounter in 2018.
