Tyson Fury’s heavyweight title defence against Deontay Wilder has been postponed after the champion and members of his camp contracted COVID-19, the World Boxing Council confirmed on Friday.
In a brief post on Twitter, the WBC confirmed the July 24 bout had been postponed but did not say when the trilogy fight would be rescheduled.
“Fury vs Wilder III will be postponed,” the WBC said. “We wish Tyson Fury’s team and him speedy recovery from COVID.”

Multiple reports in the US and Britain have said Fury and several members of his team had tested positive for Covid-19 at their Las Vegas training base.
According to ESPN, the fight at Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena had been tentatively rescheduled for October 9.
The positive test was the latest twist to what has been a tortuous year for Fury.
