Oleksandr Usyk Eyes Trilogy with Fury or Joshua After Dubois Rematch

In an interview with ‘The Stomping Ground’ ahead of his July 19 rematch against Daniel Dubois, Usyk responded to questions about potential future opponents by expressing interest in a trilogy fight with either Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua—assuming he secures victory at Wembley Stadium.

Fury, who suffered back-to-back defeats to Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) last year, announced his retirement from boxing in January, shortly after their second bout. However, Usyk remains skeptical that Fury has truly walked away from the sport.

The 36-year-old Fury saw Usyk’s interview and posted on Instagram, “Beat the f****r 2 times the world knows the truth. Any time, any place. Sucher (sic). UK next time 100k people.”

So, is a Fury comeback on the horizon—and if it is, is Usyk the opponent he’s targeting? Fury has claimed the world knows the truth, and on that front, he’s right: Usyk clearly beat him twice, nearly stopping him in the ninth round of their first encounter.

Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) has struggled to accept defeat with grace, something many fans had anticipated, while Usyk has remained dignified and respectful, consistently embodying what it means to be a true world heavyweight champion.

If a trilogy bout does happen, the question remains—can Fury finally solve the puzzle, or will Usyk make it a clean 3-0 sweep against a man who may well be his greatest foil?

On the other hand, Fury and Joshua have been frequently mentioned as potential opponents in an all-British showdown, though the matchup has yet to materialize. Despite that, a bout between the two still stands as arguably the most commercially attractive option for either heavyweight, especially with both fighters currently coming off defeats.
