Tyson Fury says he wants Oleksandr Usyk trilogy — but only after Anthony Joshua
Tyson Fury told the Mr. Verzace podcast he wants a third fight with Oleksandr Usyk after a win over Anthony Joshua, outlining an ideal finish in Cardiff followed by revenge at Madison Square Garden.
Tyson Fury has told the Mr Verzace podcast he wants a third meeting with Oleksandr Usyk — but only after getting past Anthony Joshua in Cardiff. Fury said he believes he won their two earlier encounters and described his preferred route as beating Joshua in front of 80,000 fans in Cardiff, then travelling to Madison Square Garden to “get the revenge” on Usyk. BoxingNews24.com reported the comments, noting Fury’s preference for a Usyk trilogy over fresh heavyweight opponents.
Fury outlines Cardiff-to-Madison Square Garden route for a trilogy
Speaking on the Mr Verzace podcast, Fury said he wants “that rematch with him, that trilogy,” adding: “I know deep in my heart that I won those fights.” He described his ideal sequence as defeating Anthony Joshua before a large Cardiff crowd — referencing an 80,000 sell‑out — and then heading to Madison Square Garden to settle the score with Usyk. Fury’s language framed a third Usyk meeting as unfinished business, with revenge at a historic New York venue the stated endpoint of his preferred plan.
Financial pull and risk calculus favour a Usyk trilogy, report says
BoxingNews24’s piece suggested the appeal of another Usyk fight is partly financial: a trilogy between two established names with a revenge narrative would likely bring a massive payday. The report contrasted that with potential matchups against the division’s younger contenders — Frank Sanchez, Filip Hrgovic or Moses Itauma — where Fury might find it harder to command comparable money. The article also highlighted the sporting risk: Usyk is smaller and not a heavy puncher by heavyweight standards, yet he severely hurt Fury in their first meeting. Fury has twice gone the 12‑round distance with Usyk, which the report said makes another points loss easier to explain than suffering a knockout at the hands of a newer, powerful opponent.
Joshua is the immediate hurdle before any talk of a retirement tour or trilogy
BoxingNews24 noted that Anthony Joshua remains Fury’s immediate challenge in Cardiff and must be dealt with before any retirement tour or Usyk trilogy becomes realistic. The report also listed other British and international heavyweights — Daniel Dubois, Fabio Wardley, Moses Itauma, Filip Hrgovic and Frank Sanchez — as present threats who could change the landscape. According to the piece, overcoming Joshua would open the door to another major payday against Usyk while keeping the division’s powerful younger punchers at bay for longer.
