As a result of the new normal brought about by the Coronavirus pandemic, the third fight between British professional boxer, Tyson Fury and American boxer, Deontay Wilder has been rescheduled to hold in December 2020.

Naija News understands that the fight which was earlier scheduled for October 2020 is now being targeted for December 19, a few days to Christmas.

According to Sky Sports, a top rank executive, Brad Jacobs who disclosed the new date said the development was due to the current pandemic which has brought countries of the world to its knee. Jacobs hoped that the dreadful virus would have subsided before the newly announced date.

He said, “We are focusing on December 19 and are hoping that, by then, we are back to a nearly normal situation.”

Speaking about a convenient venue for the fight, Jacobs said, “We are looking all over the world, at this point, for the best location for this event. That will be narrowed down and we’ll see where it takes us.”

Meanwhile, Naija News had reported that Canadian Hip-Pop Star, Justine Bieber has finally dragged the two women who accused him of sexually harassing them to an American court.
