WBC Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury recently took to social media to tease fans about a surprise. Leaving fans on red alert amid the Coronavirus epidemic.
Following his resounding success against Deontay Wilder early this year, Fury was looking to fight a rematch. Wilder called for a rematch, exercising his right for the same almost immediately after his loss.
The pair were looking to go at it sometime in July. However, considering how Fury is suffering in quarantine along with everyone else in the U.K. there is no chance the two will meet in the ring anytime soon.
