There is a major combat sports event set to take place this weekend at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, UFC 264 is not the event that’s making headlines this evening. Instead, Wilder-Fury III is the talk of the town.
Dan Rafael of ESPN has reported that the heavyweight showdown featuring Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder that was set for July 24 has been postponed indefinitely. The decision to postpone the fight was made after Tyson Fury and members of his camp tested positive for COVID-19.
“Per source, Tyson Fury was one of the people in his camp who tested positive for Covid-19 and the fight with Wilder is postponed. New date TBA. I’ve been told Fury got one vaccine dose but never got the 2nd. At least 3 others in camp also positive,” Rafael tweeted on Thursday.
Fury nor Wilder have made a public statement regarding the matter.
