The world of professional boxing is once again filled with excitement and anticipation, promising to become one of the most remarkable events in the history of the heavyweight division. British former world champion Tyson Fury has boldly declared his desire to face Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk for a third time. He shared a striking photo on his Instagram account and wrote: “April 18, 2026. Wembley Stadium. Trilogy!” This announcement has stunned many fans and experts, especially given Fury’s previous statements about returning to the ring, which he later either jokingly or seriously denied. Currently, the boxing community is bracing for what could be an epic clash, as Usik already defeated Fury twice—once in May and again in December 2024—both decisions made by judges, after which Fury declared his retirement. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian champion is preparing for a rematch against IBF titleholder Daniel Dubois, scheduled for July 19 in London at the iconic Wembley Stadium. A confident victory for Usyk could see him crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion for the second time, a historic achievement for Ukrainian boxing. Oleksandr previously held the undisputed title in the heavyweight division. Fury also made predictions about a potential rematch between Usyk and Dubois, but now this scenario appears more plausible and eagerly awaited by fans, as they look forward to witnessing a showdown between two of the sport’s most formidable giants.
