LONDON – There is no chance of a rematch between world heavyweight champion Tyson Luke Fury (British) and Deontay Leshun Wilder (American) going ahead without a crowd, said Frank Warren Tyson Fury’s promoter on Wednesday.
Fury overwhelmed Wilder in their Las Vegas rematch in February, seizing the WBC crown with a seventh round stoppage. They had previously fought to a draw in December 2018.
A third bout between the two was set for Las Vegas in July but that was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and now looks unlikely to happen before the year end.
The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) is hoping to resume professional boxing in Britain in July but with strict conditions and no spectators.
“There’s not going to be big-name fighters out there”, “there is no chance of Fury v Wilder behind closed doors”, Warren told to British media as per sources.
