The heavyweight rivals, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder are back in contention to face each other on October 9. Earlier, the duo was set to contend with each other on July 24th. However, as the British boxer and a few members of his team tested positive for Covid-19, this contest got pushed ahead. The news of a new date has arrived at the right time to lure the fans who were disheartened after this fight’s postponement.
Also, this bout is vital to settle the colossal rift between Wilder and Fury, who’ve engaged in dual wars until now. Moreover, as this fight is a make-or-break contest for ‘The Bronze Bomber’, the world is supremely ecstatic to see how he fares in this bout.
