The British star boxers are set to complete a trilogy after the Gypsy King won both of their previous meetings in 2011 and 2014.

This comes after Fury tried to set up a heavyweight showdown with Usyk and Anthony Joshua, both of which could still happen in the near future.

According to talkSPORT, however, the undefeated Ukrainian is baffled by his rival’s decision to fight Chisora one more time.

Usyk said: “It kind of makes me laugh a little bit. Why’s he doing this?”

Fury suggested that he will go after the Ukrainian star after he is done with Chisora.

The 34-year-old , though, remains focused on his upcoming clash and admits he respects his next opponent.

Fury said: “I’m not gonna sit here and call Chisora names. I respect him.

“I’ve got nothing bad to say about Derek; he’s a good fighting man, and he brings his A game every time.

“[But] In my reign right now, I’m reigning supreme. I’ll beat him, and then I’ll beat the little middleweight guy [Usyk].

“He says he’s gonna knock me out, I wanna see him do it. If he does, I’ll be the first to congratulate him.”
