(Reuters) - Tyson Fury has confirmed he will
not return to the ring this year less than a month after saying
his next fight would take place on Dec. 5 in London.
The 32-year-old Briton has not fought since February when he won
the WBC world heavyweight title in Las Vegas with a
seventh-round stoppage against Deontay Wilder.
"The Gypsy King is returning in 2021," Fury wrote on Twitter
https://twitter.com/
Tyson_Fury/status/1328034997182271490. "Only those that have
supported me 100% since my comeback will be with me for the
glory."
Fury had earlier announced his next fight would be in December
in London against an unnamed opponent.
He did not say why the December date was off, nor did he say who
his opponent would be next year.
American Wilder had called on Fury to agree to a third fight
after the first bout in 2018 ended in a draw. However, Fury
refused after Wilder accused him of cheating in their February
bout.
