Boxing fans are greedy, aren’t they? We are just hours away from Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury rematch. The last major PPV of 2024 which might even trump their first clash in May, where Usyk created history to become the first ever undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era.

While the two fighters are completely focused on the rematch, there is already a buzz regarding a possible trilogy. Many reports have suggested that Fury and Usyk have agreed to a trilogy under a certain condition, but nothing was certain. Well, Tyson Fury took care of that and set the record straight on a possible trilogy ahead of the highly anticipated rematch.

In a conversation with ‘Boxing King Media,’ the Manchester native emphasized his complete focus and desperate pursuit of revenge. During the conversation, the interviewer asked ‘Gypsy King’ about a possible trilogy. While the 36-year-old expressed that he would love a third match, it will only happen under one condition.

Tyson Fury declared“When I win this one then yes, for sure,’ claiming that the third match will only happen if he wins the upcoming rematch at Kingdom Arena. While there was a two-way rematch clause in the contract for their first clash, the 36-year-old made it clear that there was no contractual obligation like that this time around.

In this scenario, a third fight will only happen if Fury is successful in exacting revenge, which will increase the demand for a decisive third bout. His Excellency Turki Alalshikh won’t shy away from making a trilogy immediately. If Oleksandr Usyk emerges victorious, he will probably move on to other things. Quite possibly an undisputed clash with either Daniel Dubois or Joseph Parker.

A few days ago, Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren also talked about the possible trilogy and how it will trump any other clashes for both of these boxers.

What’s your perspective on:

Will Fury's revenge quest lead to a legendary trilogy, or is Usyk the true king?

In a conversation with ‘Boxing News,’ Warren claimed that a trilogy fight between Fury and Usyk is “contracted. And whatever happens, that would be the case if Tyson wins, providing nobody retires.”

Warren declared that if the 36-year-old is victorious in the rematch, the trilogy will take priority for both of these fighters over matchups with Anthony Joshua and will further delay the undisputed clash against Dubois or Parker.

Boxing fans have been desperately waiting to see AJ and Fury collide with each other in the ring. Furthermore, even Joshua is waiting for the Riyadh Season rematch’s result to decide his future as he wants a clash with Fury. If the trilogy does happen, it will massively hamper his comeback plan.

Furthermore, to make matters worse for AJ, ‘The Gypsy King’ has also shown more interest in facing Usyk again rather than him. In a conversation with Al Arabiya, Tyson Fury declared, “Joshua’s in tatters at the moment. He has got to pick up the pieces from his last fight. But the fight with Usyk, one on Saturday and the one afterwards, would be fantastic for me.”

While this announcement by Tyson Fury and Frank Warren would have hurt AJ and some fans, the majority of boxing fans won’t be opposed to seeing Fury and Usyk locking horns for the third time. Let us know your thoughts down below.
