The Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder trilogy was one of the most awaited boxing events of 2021. The fight was set to take place on July 24 but the British boxer and a few members of his team tested positive for Covid-19. Consequently, this bout got pushed ahead and now it’s rescheduled for October 9.
Recently, Queensberry Promotions supremo, Frank Warren was in an interaction with iFL TV. Here, he gave his notions about the entire rigmarole that took place for Wilder vs Fury 3.
“Well, you know my reaction is like everybody. We’re all disappointed but you know, they’re the times we live in. You know he caught covid, and that’s it so he couldn’t fight. That’s the end of the story. So it doesn’t matter what I think or anybody thinks.
