Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder trilogy targeted for July

While a lot of fans may not be asking for a trilogy — at least immediately — after that definitive end to their last bout, a rematch clause is in their contracts and Wilder has decided to exercise his right to make it happen.
According to Bob Arum, they already have a target date and venue for the heavyweight trilogy: July 18, 2020, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
