Fresh report emanating from Riyadh says Tyson Fury has told his promoter Frank Warren that he wants a third fight with Oleksandr Usyk even if he claims the crown in their title fight on Saturday.

The United Kingdom-born challenger immediately called for a rematch, as part of the fight’s terms, after the first bout but has this time said a trilogy of contests between the pair will happen even if he is victorious this time.

In an interview with sports broadcaster DAZN, Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, said ahead of the fight: “If Tyson wins it, that’s where that mantle will go – that he is the best of his generation.”

Fury interrupted his promoter, however, saying: “No, Frank. There will be a rematch. A trilogy. There’s got to be. “If he wins one and I win one, I can’t say I’m better and he can’t say he’s better. There has to be a third one,” he said.
