Amid fears of contagion in large crowds, almost all major sporting events have been postponed or cancelled. As a result, the boxing titans won&#8217;t be able to fight until October \u2014 at the very earliest.<\/p>\n<p>The heavyweights have fought twice before. Their first showdown in 2018 resulted in a thrilling draw. In their rematch, Fury outboxed the American knockout artist and sealed a TKO victory. After the loss, Wilder immediately announced his plans to exercise his contract rematch clause and determine the better fighter, once and for all.<\/p>\n<p>The fight was <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/boxing-news\/deontay-wilder-vs-tyson-fury-3-slated-for-july-18-in-las-vegas\/\">originally targeted<\/a> for July 18 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, but Top Rank chairman Bob Arum said the fight has been rearranged.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Clearly not,&#8221; he said to ESPN in response to the fight happening in July (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/reuters\/2020\/03\/24\/sports\/24reuters-health-coronavirus-boxing-fury-wilder.html\">New York Times<\/a>). &#8220;We don&#8217;t even know if the MGM will even be open by then. You could not guarantee the fighters that the event would take place on that date. We couldn&#8217;t convince them or ourselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-exrw3m evys1bk0\">&#8220;Where were they going to train for it? It just made no sense. You just have to take a step back. How are you going to sell tickets? It&#8217;s absolutely ridiculous to say the fight is on when the Brits can&#8217;t even get there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-exrw3m evys1bk0\">&#8220;So everybody has to take a step back. Boxing is not isolated. It&#8217;s part of what&#8217;s happening in the world,&#8221; Arum said. &#8220;So possibly the fight will be in early October.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There is also the possibility that the Gypsy King will fight fellow British heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua. The Brit vs. Brit showdown would be a blockbuster bout. However, the likelihood of the fight will depend on the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the outcome of the trilogy bout.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think we&#8217;ll see Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder fight again this year?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 3\/25\/2020. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder trilogy has been pushed back until the fall of 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
