Fury Targets Usyk Trilogy Over Joshua for 2026 Comeback, Promoter Says
Warren says Fury will not wait for Joshua's tune-up, with Usyk's possible mandatory defense complicating scheduling.
Overview
- Frank Warren told Sky Sports that Tyson Fury “really wants” a third fight with Oleksandr Usyk and discusses that bout “all the time.”
- Fury has teased ending his retirement for a 2026 return, though he has not formally committed to fighting again.
- Warren indicated Fury will not sit out while Anthony Joshua pursues a potential tune-up, signaling little interest in aligning with Joshua’s timeline.
- Usyk remains the undisputed heavyweight champion after two decision wins over Fury in 2024, a backdrop that fuels calls for a trilogy.
- Usyk is expected to be ordered to face the Joseph Parker–Fabio Wardley winner from October 25, or he may chase a more lucrative option, either of which could affect his availability.
