Recall that Last year February Tyson Fury defeated Deontay Wilder to become heavyweight boxing champion for the second time.
They were due to fight again in July that year, but plans were delayed due to the pandemic and the contest was postponed. Fury then refused the new date put forward by Wilder’s team, saying he would move on.
However, in an arbitration hearing on 17 May 2021, a US judge ruled that Fury must take on Wilder instead, as per the contract.
The judge ruled in mediation that Wilder has a right to face Fury for a third time, at some point before 15 September.
After facing delays, Wilder’s team wanted to move the bout to 2021, but Fury refused and said he would move on instead.
