Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has called out Oleksandr Usyk for a trilogy fight following the latter’s victory against Daniel Dubois on Saturday night.
Usyk reclaimed his undisputed crown as he managed to overcome Dubois at Wembley.
Fury was defeated by Usyk in May and December 2024, with both fights taking place in Saudi Arabia. Despite announcing his retirement after the second fight, Fury is now ready for a return to the ring.
The Gypsy King praised Usyk for his display against Dubois and declared that he is the only man who is capable of beating the Ukrainian.
Speaking in a video posted on Instagram (via Daily Mail), Fury said: “Massive shout to Oleksandr Usyk, he did a fantastic performance tonight against Daniel Dubois, a good young game lad. Good tear-up, so congratulations to both men.
“Oleksandr Usyk knows there’s only one man who can beat him. I’ve done it twice before and the world knows it.
“I’ve been f***** good and proper without any vaseline on and took it like a man. Here’s me, not f****** around at some boxing match. I’m out on the f****** road running.

“I’m running tonight, I come home, I’ve done my job and I’ve got myself back and I am the man. I’m the f****** spartan. No matter what anyone wants to say, I f****** won.
“Guaranteed 100 per cent there’s only one man, GK all day every day.”
Usyk reclaimed the IBF title and added it to his WBA (Super), WBO and WBC belts.
In the first fight between Fury and Usyk, a victory was awarded to Usyk by split decision, with Fury suffering the first defeat of his professional boxing career.
Fury was adamant that he had done enough to win the rematch against Usyk, with his promoter Frank Warren having been left shocked by the scorecards.
Usyk praised Fury after the fight as he said: “I very respect this guy because I think he’s very tough .. Tyson Fury makes me strong. Tyson is a great opponent. Big man. He’s a good man. Tyson, a lot of talk, but it’s just show.”
So far Usyk has managed to win all 24 of his professional fights.
