The heavyweight rivals, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder are back in contention to face each other on October 9. Earlier, the duo was set to contend with each other on July 24th. However, as the British boxer and a few members of his team tested positive for Covid-19, this contest got pushed ahead. The news of a new date has arrived at the right time to lure the fans who were disheartened after this fight’s postponement.

Also, this bout is vital to settle the colossal rift between Wilder and Fury, who’ve engaged in dual wars until now. Moreover, as this fight is a make-or-break contest for ‘The Bronze Bomber’, the world is supremely ecstatic to see how he fares in this bout.

Recently, Frank Warren shared the news pertaining to this fight’s rescheduling.

Prior to facing Wilder in this trilogy, ‘The Gypsy King’ was all set to battle out his compatriot, Anthony Joshua, for all the heavyweight titles on the line. But due to some external factors, this bout met the scrapheap.

The first time Fury and Wilder met each other inside the ring was in 2018. Both of them traded enormous blows and eventually, this fight ended with a draw. The hard-hitting pair met again in 2020, and this time, it was all about Tyson Fury annihilating the Alabama native with his sheer brilliance.
