According to Frank Warren, the boxers have agreed on a trilogy if the Briton wins the second fight.
Frank Warren, promoter of former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, named the condition under which the third fight between his client and WBA, WBO, WBC and IBO title holder Alexander Usyk.
According to him, the Ukrainian and the Briton agreed on a trilogy if the “Gypsy King” wins the second fight.
At the same time, this will happen if neither boxer decides to retire. There is a corresponding clause in the contract.
“It's in the contract. Whatever happens, it will be like this if Tyson wins. Provided that no one retires,” Warren said in an interview with Boxing News.
We will add that Warren earlier made a prediction for the Usyk-Fury rematch.
The Usyk-Fury rematch will take place on December 21 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). All titles held by the Ukrainian boxer will be at stake.
Unlike the first fight, this time the title of absolute world champion will not be at stake, since Alexander had previously renounced the IBF title. Now it is owned by Briton Daniel Dubois, who has already managed to defend it by knocking out his compatriot Anthony Joshua.
Recall that on the night of May 19, 2024, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision in a fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion. At the end of the ninth round, Alexander knocked his opponent down.
Thus, Alexander defended the WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF belts, and also took the WBC title from the “Gypsy King”. Usyk became the first absolute world champion in the heavyweight division in the 21st century.
Before that, the last “absolute” heavyweight champion was Lennox Lewis, who won this status in 1999, when he defeated Evander Holyfield. At that time, the WBA, WBC and IBF titles were at stake. The WBO belt was recognized as equal in 2007, so Usyk became the first “absolute” heavyweight champion in history with four main titles.
