The biggest heavyweight bout of the summer has been postponed. Tyson Fury has tested positive for COVID-19 and his bout against Deontay Wilder will be rescheduled for later this year, sources confirmed to ESPN.
The fight was originally scheduled for July 24 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with the broadcast on both Fox and ESPN+ pay-per-view. Sources told ESPN a weekend in October is the new targeted date with the Manny Pacquiao-Errol Spence Jr. PPV on Aug. 21 and Canelo Alvarez scheduled to fight in the second or third week of September.
Sources said multiple people in Fury's camp have tested positive. Fury is likely to return to England and ultimately come back to the United States for camp when the time is right.
