Fury is slated to fight Wilder for the third time next after the Bronze Bomber took up his rematch clause.
The date and location of the bout has not officially been confirmed yet and was expected to be held at the MGM Grand again on July 18.
That has had to be changed due to the ongoing issues surrounding the pandemic and the fight is now reportedly set to take place on October 3 in Las Vegas again.
Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, revealed to talkSPORT: “Yes, he’s invoked the rematch clause so that is what we are working towards.
“It’s contracted to take place in the States. That is in the contract and set in stone unless anyone agrees differently.”
Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum has now revealed that the trilogy fight will be pushed back to the autumn.
When asked if the bout would take place on July 18, Arum told ESPN: “Clearly not. We don’t even know if the MGM will even be open by then.
“You could not guarantee the fighters that the event would take place on that date. We couldn’t convince them or ourselves.
“Where were they going to train for it? It just made no sense. You just have to take a step back. How are you going to sell tickets? It’s absolutely ridiculous to say the fight is on when the Brits can’t even get there.
“So everybody has to take a step back. Boxing is not isolated. It’s part of what’s happening in the world. So possibly the fight will be in early October.”
