Oleksandr Usyk would be willing to stage a third meeting with Anthony Joshua if he is unable to take on Tyson Fury.
Usyk beat the Briton again last month in their heavyweight rematch that was staged in Saudi Arabia almost a year after he inflicted a first defeat on his rival in the UK. It was expected that the Ukrainian would next challenge Fury for the undisputed titles later this year, but after stating his intentions to have a short break from fighting, it appears the fight has now been shelved until 2023.
Fury instead offered Joshua a shot at the WBC crown, which he has also declared will not take place after 'AJ' missed the deadline. And Usyk has revealed that he would be open to a third clash but only if it is staged in the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv. “If Fury doesn’t agree I think we could try to have another fight," Usyk told Parimatch when discussing a potential third fight with Joshua.
