OLEKSANDR USYK has agreed to one of Tyson Fury’s demands for a trilogy fight.
The slick southpaw became the first undisputed heavyweight champion in nearly 25 years last May with a split-decision victory over the Gypsy King in their first Saudi showdown.
Usyk, 38, won the pair’s Riyadh rematch last December more emphatically, with the judges handing him a unanimous decision victory.
Fury, 36, fumed at the outcome of both fights, which he recently vented about on social media.
Commenting on an Instagram post, he wrote: “Beat the f***er two times and the world knows the truth.
“Any time, any place [sucker]. UK next time. 100,000 people.”

Fury’s mentioning of “100,000 people” was a clear call for him to have a third showdown with Usyk at Wembley Stadium.
And the undefeated Ukrainian is willing to grant his wish, if he really has come out of his latest retirement.
Boxing’s pound-for-pound king told talkSPORT: “If Tyson Fury back with his career, maybe we organise one more fight.
“No problem, I’m ready. Wembley, [or Old Trafford] yes.”

Fury announced his fifth retirement from boxing just a matter of weeks after his second-straight loss to Usyk.
But he appeared to perform a U-turn earlier this week in a video with his head coach, Sugarhill Steward.
He said: “Just in the gym, I bump into somebody you might know.”
Steward declared: “We’re back guys, you know what time it is.”
The Wythenshawe warrior added: “You know what’s coming.”
Before Usyk can think about sharing the ring with Fury again, he has the small matter of a July 19 rematch with Daniel Dubois for all the heavyweight marbles.
And he’s determined to become a two-time undisputed king of the heavyweights in style.
He said: “I’m grateful to God for the opportunity to once again fight for the undisputed championship.
“Thank you, Daniel, for taking care of my IBF belt – now I want it back.”
