Invincible Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usik responded to the challenge of Tyson Fury, who proposed a third fight in November 2026. The 39-year-old Crimean recorded a video from the gym and turned to the Briton, confirming his readiness to fight.

In the video, Usyk walks backwards on a treadmill, after which he shows off his biceps and addresses Fury: “Hey, Tyson, I’m coming for you, brother. You are a Greedy belly"

In the description of the publication, the Ukrainian also wrote: “Still thinking about me, Tyson Fury?

Fury immediately responded to Usik’s post: “A real man! The antennae is not a duck, but still a rabbit." In English, the verb " In this context it is used to mean a person who avoids combat.

Tyson later released a potential poster for their third fight..

Previously, Fury said that he wants to hold a third fight with Usik in November. The Brit made the call after problems arose with the organization of his possible fight against Anthony Joshua.

At the same time, Usik’s team is focusing on another option. According to The Ring, the Ukrainian plans to fight his next fight against Deontay Wilder in March 2027 in the USA, but the contract for this fight has not yet been signed.

Usik's advisor Sergei Lapin previously said that the option of a third fight against Fury could be considered after a meeting with Wilder. Thus, a possible trilogy with the Briton could change Usik’s original plan to retire after one next fight.

Let us remind you that Usyk defeated Fury twice - in May 2024 by a split decision (115-112, 114-113 and 113-114), and in December on the cards of all three judges (116-112, 116-112, 116-112).

After the second defeat from the Ukrainian, Tyson announced his retirement.
