Tyson Fury's co-promoter Frank Warren doubts the WBC world heavyweight champion will now face Deontay Wilder in his next fight.

Fury was initially expected to face Wilder in a third encounter between the pair at Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Las Vegas Raiders of the NFL, on Dec. 19.

But due to restrictions to stop the spread of coronavirus preventing a crowd, promoters and broadcasters have yet to announce plans for the trilogy fight.

ESPN reports 32-year-old Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) from Manchester, England wants to box again this year after stopping American Wilder in seven rounds in February.

34-year-old Wilder (41-1-1, 40 KOs) from Alabama who drew with Fury in December 2018 in their first fight, is contractually entitled to a rematch.

But Warren says if a third fight cannot be organized with Fury in December, then the Englishman will fight someone else.
