Tyson Fury has been left 'really frustrated' after his trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder was postponed, reveals promoter Frank Warren, who confirms the fight is now being lined up for October.
The Gypsy King had been set to take on the American for a third time on July 24 but the date has now been pushed back, after Fury and numerous members of his team tested positive for coronavirus.
Fury last fought back in February 2020 in his emphatic stoppage victory over Wilder, and his ever-increasing spell outside the ring continued after his seemingly set-in-stone undisputed showdown against British rival Anthony Joshua was derailed by the emergence of another fight against the 'Bronze Bomber'.

The opportunity to fight Joshua for all the belts, which had still been in the picture for a winter showdown, now looks further in doubt, with a 2022 date more likely, if at all.
Warren has revealed it has been a frustrating period for all involved, insisting there is nothing that can be done.
'It's looking some time in October, which is a great shame it's been postponed, but it is what it is,' Warren told BT
