Tyson fury and deontay wilder 'focusing' on new date for trilogy fight

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder could lock horns for a third time on December 19, according to an executive at Top Rank. Brad Jacobs has revealed the trilogy fight is in the works for the end

of the year as Fury looks to follow up his victorious night in Las Vegas. Fury and Wilder were hoping to have met this summer to follow up their February classic, but the coronavirus has

delayed the third showdown. And now, according to Jacobs, eyes are on December 19 for a third and final fight. The hope being that by then sporting events will allow for spectators to return

to stadiums. "We are focusing on December 19 and are hoping that, by then, we are back to a nearly normal situation," Top Rank's Jacobs told Sky Sports. "That may be a

50 per cent capacity. "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."

Talk over where the fight could be held has stretched from America to Australia, with many other options in between including the likes of Macau. TYSON FURY AND ANTHONY JOSHUA REACH

AGREEMENT OVER TWO-FIGHT DEAL And nothing right now is out of the equation. "Not at this point,” Jacobs added when asked if anywhere had been ruled out yet. "There are many offers

from all over the world. It will land where it lands, for whatever reason. At the moment there is no real progress for any specific location." The third fight should lead to an opponent

for Anthony Joshua with Fury having already agreed a deal to fight him. But a Wilder win, or Joshua losing to Kubrat Pulev, would shatter hopes of the battle of Britain - at least short

term. However Frank Warren is confident of a repeat result when Fury and Wilder do glove up again. "I think Tyson has got Deontay's number. I thought he won the first fight. Second

fight he won it emphatically,” he said. "I don't know what Deontay can bring that's any different from the previous two fights. "He feels that he can. I know speaking to

Shelly Finkel his manager, he's very, very confident. He believes he's got the beating of Tyson. That remains to be seen."
