Tyson Fury has thrown his hat in the ring to fight new undisputed world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk for a third time.
Usyk dismantled Fury’s fellow British boxer Daniel Dubois in scintillating fashion at Wembley on Saturday.
Usyk’s brutal fifth-round stoppage made him undisputed world heavyweight champion for a second time. He initially won all the belts against Fury last May in Riyadh, but was forced to vacate his IBF title.
Former WBC-belt holder Fury went into retirement after he tasted a second defeat to Usyk on a split decision last December, but signalled his intentions to return earlier this month and served notice to the undefeated Ukrainian on Sunday.

During a video of Fury on a run on his Instagram, the 36-year-old ‘Gypsy King’ said: “Massive shout out to Oleksandr Usyk.
“He did a fantastic performance tonight over Daniel Dubois, a good, young, game lad who came for a good tear, so congratulations to both men but Oleksandr Usyk knows there is only one man who can beat him.
“I did it twice before and the world knows it. I won those fights. Guaranteed, 100 per cent. There is only one man. GK [Gypsy King] all day every day. Get up!”
Queensberry chief Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, acknowledged a third fight with Usyk would be “big” but reiterated WBO mandatory Joseph Parker was next in line.
“Tyson has made it very clear to me he would love to fight at Wembley and would love to do that fight. And it would be a big fight, I am quite sure of it,” Warren said.
“As a fan, I would like to see the Joe Parker fight. Joe deserves it, he is on a run himself similar to what Daniel was on and that is the fight that has been ordered.
“One way or another, it will either happen or Joe will fight for the vacant title.”
