"We're moving off because there's five conference championship games that day and night, plus two NFL games," Arum said. "So we can't go with the 19th; we're looking at other dates right now because ESPN advised us, and Fox advised the PBC [which promotes Wilder]."

"When you were going through your darkest time, I told you that if you got yourself together I would give you a title shot.

A fight between WBC heavyweight titleholder and lineal champion Tyson Fury and Agit Kabayel is being finalized for Dec. 5 in London, The Athletic reported Wednesday.

Opponent to be announced very, very soon," Fury said in a video message posted on his social media accounts. "Just working on some opponents. Let you all know who it's going to be shortly."

His biggest win as a pro is a majority-decision victory over Dereck Chisora in 2017.

Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder make third fight in rivalry official

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder have both signed contracts for the third bout in their heavyweight rivalry. During the Josh Taylor-Jose Ramirez telecast on ESPN on Saturday, Fury said that he had signed his contract. Wilder has also finalized his side of the deal, according to boxing manager Shelly Finkel. The fight will be on July 24, sources told ESPN. T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas will host the bout, Top Rank's Bob Arum told ESPN's Kel Dansby. Fury will receive 60% of the purse to 40% for Wilder, sources told ESPN's Mark Kriegel. The agreement comes six days after an independent arbitrator ruled that Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) was legally obligated for a third fight with Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs). Prior to the first fight in 2018 that ended in a draw, Wilder had knocked out all his previous opponents. Fury got off the canvas in the 12th round to escape his first defeat. In the 2020 rematch, Fury battered Wilder for a seventh-round TKO victory. Neither fighter has fought since the bout.

Deontay Wilder goes silent, ignores questions in news conference for Tyson Fury fight

Deontay Wilder, clad in dark sunglasses and wearing headphones with music blaring into them, stared straight ahead during Tuesday's news conference when emcee Crystina Poncher, sitting to his right, addressed him with a question. That was Wilder's afternoon in a nutshell. The heavyweight boxing star gave an opening statement at the start of the event, and that was the last time Wilder spoke. He did not take any questions from Poncher or the media Tuesday during the promotional news conference for his trilogy bout with Tyson Fury at The Novo in Downtown LA, nor did he explain why. When Fury broke from the dais to do scrums with print and TV reporters, Wilder and his team stood on stage, then went backstage and eventually left the theater. Fury and Wilder are scheduled to fight for the third time July 24 in Las Vegas. The first bout, in December 2018, went to a split draw. The second, in February 2020, was won by Fury via seventh-round TKO. Fury and Wilder did have a staredown -- one of the longest in the history of combat sports. The two were locked in on each other for more than five minutes until security and Wilder's team finally separated them. Fury (30-0-1) is the lineal heavyweight champion, holding the WBC and The Ring titles. He said he plans to bulk up to 300 pounds for the fight and knock Wilder out with one punch. Wilder (42-1-1), one of the most feared knockout punchers in boxing history, is the former WBC heavyweight champion.
