"I'm sure Tyson said it himself, and that's exactly how it's going to be, and it could happen. I believe Fury will beat Usyk to start a trilogy. I go back to the first fight with Deontay, which I thought he won, but in the end, a draw was declared. He realized that when he was on the canvas at the end of the fight and did a great job with Wilder in the second fight. I think that's what he has to do with Usyk: continue to do a lot of what he did in the first half of the fight," Warren said.
