Tyson Fury has been boxing’s main attraction over the last week. He first announced the undisputed title bout against Anthony Joshua. However, a day later, Deontay Wilder won his arbitration case and Fury had to face ‘The Bronze Bomber.’
Fans now have a big update about the trilogy between the current WBC champion and the former champion. Reports suggest the pair could meet as early as July 24, and some even claim Wilder has already signed his contract. And now, Fury has made an announcement of his own.
