In a bombshell announcement that has reignited the boxing world, former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has officially demanded a trilogy fight against Oleksandr Usyk, just days after suffering his first professional defeat in their highly anticipated unification bout.

The historic clash, which took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk narrowly defeat Fury via split decision to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era. While the fight was razor-close, with many fans and analysts split on the outcome, the Ukrainian champion ultimately walked away with the WBC title, adding it to his collection of WBA, IBF, and WBO belts.

Fury, never one to stay silent in defeat, has now taken to social media and interviews to voice his frustration over the decision and his hunger for redemption.

“It was a great fight, but I believe I won. The judges saw it differently, and I respect that. But make no mistake — this isn’t over. I want the rematch, and after that, the trilogy. Let’s settle this once and for all,” Fury declared in a fiery Instagram video posted Monday.

His promoter, Frank Warren, has confirmed that Fury will activate the rematch clause, which was built into the fight contract. A second fight is expected to be scheduled later this year, possibly in October or November. However, Fury’s demand for a trilogy fight has taken fans by surprise, signaling his intent to establish a long-term rivalry with Usyk.

“We have the clause, we will use it. Tyson is eager to get back in the ring, and he wants not just revenge, but a legacy-defining trilogy,” Warren told BT Sport.

Oleksandr Usyk, known for his calm demeanor and professionalism, has responded in kind, stating through his team that he’s open to a rematch and would consider a trilogy if necessary.

“I am ready to fight again. Tyson Fury is a great fighter, and if the fans want it, we can make it happen,” Usyk said during his post-fight press conference.

The first encounter between the two giants has already gone down as one of the most thrilling heavyweight clashes in recent memory. Usyk’s speed, footwork, and tactical brilliance were on full display, while Fury showcased resilience, size advantage, and his trademark showmanship. The ninth round, in which Fury was nearly stopped, became an instant highlight moment, solidifying the bout’s legacy.

A potential trilogy between Fury and Usyk could become one of the defining rivalries of this era, reminiscent of past heavyweight legends like Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier or Evander Holyfield vs. Riddick Bowe. With both men undefeated before their May showdown, their contrasting styles and larger-than-life personalities promise fireworks in any rematch.

Boxing fans around the world are already buzzing with anticipation. Social media has exploded with speculation about where the second and third fights could take place, with rumors circulating about venues in London, Kyiv, Las Vegas, or a return to Saudi Arabia.

Critics, however, caution that a trilogy could delay the rise of younger contenders such as Daniel Dubois, Jared Anderson, or Filip Hrgović, who are all waiting in the wings for a shot at the unified crown.

Still, with millions of dollars in revenue, international attention, and legacy on the line, the boxing world is more than ready to see Fury and Usyk square off once again — and maybe even twice more.

One thing is certain: Tyson Fury isn’t walking away quietly. He’s coming back for blood, redemption, and the chance to rewrite history.

Stay tuned — the heavyweight saga is far from over.
