Speaking with ESNEWS, Mauricio Sulaiman said, “Well, it’s very disappointing of course [Delay in Fury vs Wilder 3]. Everybody has been waiting for a long time for the third fight. They fought in February of last year. That was the last big fight before the pandemic. They were supposed to fight in December, then the fight was completely broken and Fury was going to fight Joshua.”
“There was so much things going back and forth. Then it was ruling that the fight will take place in July. Everybody was waiting for it. A week from now, but we are living in a complicated world with Covid restrictions with the Covid infections, wit travel, so many different variables.”
