“I was supposed to go to SummerSlam last year and I was supposed to go to WrestleMania last year, and I was also supposed to fight Drew McIntyre in a pay-per-view event in the UK. But none of that happened thanks to COVID.

“So COVID’s cost me SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, pay-per-view with Drew McIntyre, the [Deontay] Wilder rematch, and the [Anthony] Joshua fight, so thank you, COVID. And I was supposed to meet the President of the Unites States, Donald Trump. I was supposed to meet the Pope of Rome, among other things, so it’s cost me a lot. It’s one of them things.”

Fury’s last boxing match was against Deontay Wilder. The Gypsy King came out victorious making him the first heavyweight in history to have held the WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring magazine titles. A rematch with Wilder was set for July last year. However, Covid kept that match from happening. Fury finally announced that he was foregoing the trilogy after organizers failed to deliver a date for the event in 2020.
