The trilogy fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder appears to be unlikely for 2020.

Fury and Wilder were set to collide a third time back in July. The COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to that plan. Top Rank Boxing was hoping to have the fight take place inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 19. That date also failed to stick as there will be pivotal NFL games that weekend.

Arum has been exploring options, including potentially holding the event at an earlier date. It doesn’t appear to be likely, however. Frank Warren of Queensberry Promotions explained why to World Boxing News.

It was supposed to take place, I think in June or July, and unfortunately it didn’t and at the moment, it doesn’t look like it is going to happen this year. That is unless Bob Arum pulls a rabbit out of a hat and puts it on in the States.

The last fight got the highest-grossing heavyweight fights to take place in Vegas, and that’s a massive amount of money, nearly 20 million, and that’s not going to be there. So you gotta find some way to make, so the guys get the purses they want. So it’s tough.

The first encounter between Fury and Wilder ended in a split draw. In the rematch, Fury stopped Wilder in the seventh round via TKO to capture the WBC Heavyweight Championship. The Gypsy King has said he plans on fighting in December with or without The Bronze Bomber.

It has been widely known that this is the target date for the bout for several months now. However, due to the ongoing pandemic, it remains unclear whether fans will be allowed in attendance in the US. This is crucial as, without a crowd, the organizers lose out on ticket sales worth upwards of $15million.

There have been ideas mooted about taking the fight overseas, though Fury’s promoter Bob Arum recently told talkSPORT they are struggling to get firm guarantees from any country’s health minister that it would definitely be able to happen. As a result, he’s said they are sticking with their original plan of staging Fury vs Wilder 3 on December 19 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The idea would be for the new 65,000-capacity stadium to host 10,000-15,000 socially distanced fans. That’s what we’re moving ahead on, on all fronts, with the security, with the virus, and everything, Arum told ESPN. We’re talking with everybody here in town, with the Raiders. So we’re optimistic that we’ll be able to do the event in Nevada, in Las Vegas.

Fury vs Wilder is expected to be the biggest fight to take place anywhere in the world in the remainder of 2020. Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder have already met twice for the World Boxing Council , Ring magazine and lineal heavyweight championships of the world, and produced a thrilling bout on each occasion.

Their first meeting – soon after Fury’s astonishing comeback from mental health issues and weighing 400lbs – ended in a controversial draw at Staples Center in Los Angeles in December 2018. This despite Fury having to get off the floor twice. The Gypsy King’ made no mistake second time round though as he battered Wilder to a seventh-round TKO in Las Vegas in February 2020 the first defeat of Wilder’s professional career.

There was much surprise given the manner of his defeat that Wilder immediately exercised his contractual right to a third fight. There is much still to be decided before it happens, but here is everything we know so far about their next huge showdown.
