"In February or March": Fury set a categorical condition for Usyk before the rematch

Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) expressed confidence that he is obliged to hold three fights against Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs). The Gypsy King, as the Manchester native is called, noted that only under this condition will it be possible to determine the strongest in the confrontation.

Fury expressed this opinion in an interview with the Pound 4 Pound with Kamaru & Henry YouTube channel. According to the 36-year-old boxer, the third fight with Usyk should be held next spring, after which he plans to fight Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) or Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs).

"When I beat Usyk, I need a third fight. It has to happen. Because he won one, I won one, so we need a third fight. And it is needed regardless of who wins the rematch. We need a third fight to determine which of us is better. This is what I will strive for in February or March next year. And then maybe I'll wait for the winner of the Joshua-Dubois rematch. Although it's not yet confirmed that it will happen," Fury said.
