A few days back, the news of Tyson Fury testing positive for COVID-19 broke the morale of the fans as they were eager to see him in an action against Deontay Wilder. The rivalry between the two was set to end on July 24th. Unfortunately, since the ongoing pandemic came in like a dark cloud, it halted the progress of this fight, thus pushing it further.
Fury, who hammered Wilder in their second meeting in February 2020, was eager to secure another win. Also, he was already involved in some extensive training regimes for this trilogy. However, he’ll have to hit the reset button and train for war for another day later in the year.
