Tyson Fury expresses intentions for departure-reversal solely for Usyk trilogy, asserting desire for a balanced duel
British boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has expressed his desire to return to the ring for a potential trilogy match against undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. The conditions set by Fury for this highly anticipated rematch are specific and focused on ensuring a fair fight and result in the United Kingdom.
Fury, who lost to Usyk via unanimous decision in their second fight last year, has made it clear that he believes the decision was unjust and wants a "fair fight and a fair result" in England[2]. He has hinted at Wembley Stadium in London as the preferred venue for the showdown, with a target date of April 18, 2026[1][2][5].
The trilogy's occurrence may depend on the outcome of Usyk's upcoming fight against Daniel Dubois, as this could influence the stakes and conditions of the potential third fight[1]. Fury has watched his second fight against Usyk over 250 times and still believes he won by five rounds[1].
Promoter Eddie Hearn has proposed a two-fight series between Fury and Anthony Joshua to cap Joshua's career[1]. Some believe this potential match could also spur Fury's return to boxing, in addition to the potential trilogy with Usyk[1][6].
Fury has had multiple retirements in the past, making his return to boxing a recurring event[7]. However, his specific conditions for the Usyk trilogy match indicate a strong determination to right a perceived wrong and secure a fair fight in his home country.
