During the British summer, in the presence of a massive crowd of 100,000 spectators, Fury challenged Usyk to their third encounter.
Putting It All on the Line Again
It's a new chapter for boxing royalty, Tyson 'The Gypsy King' Fury, as he's thrown his hat in the ring for a third showdown against Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk. After two licks of the taste, Fury, once retired after their last faceoff, is now keen to rekindle their rivalry, this time under the watchful eyes of 100,000 British fans.
"Bring it on, Usyk! I want that third fight, this summer, right here in Blighty!" Fury declared on social media, following a suggestive hashtag, #TrilogyTime.
Usyk, a seasoned pro with an unbeaten track record of 23 fights under his belt and an Olympic Games gold medal to boast, seems to share the enthusiasm. However, the road to the ring for these heavyweight contenders might be a tad bumpy.
Before the potential trilogy can unfold, Usyk has a date with another British heavyweight, Daniel Dubois, scheduled for July at the hallowed Wembley Stadium. The fight serves to reclaim the IBF title and elevate Usyk to the coveted position of the undisputed champion once more[1][5]. So, Fury-Usyk III, if it comes to pass, could possibly play out post-Dubois.
Meanwhile, in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA), drama continues to unfold. Promoter Eddie Hearn has been vocal about UFC and MMA in general[3]. Misha Tate is considering a fight with Kayla Harrison, hoping it might help her overcome her losses to Ronda Rousey[4]. And in another twist, UFC's Dan Argeeta has announced his retirement, following his recent release[6]. As boxing prepares for its own thrilling trilogy, the MMA landscape seems set for its own rollercoaster ride!
Boxer Ronda might find an opportunity to overcome her losses against Misha Tate, with Kayla Harrison in sight. Meanwhile, bookmakers are discussing the potential outcome of a third fight between boxer Tyson Fury and boxer Usyk, scheduled for summer at Wembley Stadium, if Usyk successfully navigates his upcoming bout with Daniel Dubois. Despite the excitement, sports enthusiasts must also keep an eye on the MMA landscape, as the retreat of UFC's Dan Argeeta sets the stage for new drama to unfold.
