Tyson Fury hints at April 2026 Wembley trilogy fight with Oleksandr Usyk—if Dubois doesn’t spoil it

Tyson Fury is teasing a comeback—and he wants to finish what he started.

The former world heavyweight champion set social media ablaze by hinting that he’ll face Oleksandr Usyk in a third and final showdown on 18 April 2026 at Wembley Stadium.

April 18 2026, Wembley Stadium. The trilogy!” Fury posted on X Thursday, reigniting hopes of a home-soil classic after two gut-wrenching defeats to Usyk in Riyadh. The last bout in December saw Fury retire from boxing—briefly.

Now, the “Gypsy King” is talking about redemption.

Fury, 36, lost both title clashes to the Ukrainian—first by split decision in May 2024, then by unanimous decision in their Saudi rematch. Those defeats made Usyk the first undisputed four-belt heavyweight champion in history. But Fury insists he was wronged.

“I don’t believe I got a fair shout the last two times,” he told reporters this week at an IBA event in Istanbul. “That’s all I want—a fair fight.”

The potential trilogy has heavyweight boxing buzzing. Co-promoters Queensberry confirmed to BBC Sport that discussions are ongoing with Team Fury and Riyadh Season organisers. Meanwhile, Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh, who helped transform the kingdom into boxing’s new epicentre, claimed he already has Fury’s word.

“The ‘Gypsy King’ will be back,” Alalshikh wrote. “We have a rabbit to hunt.”

That rabbit, of course, is Usyk—a nickname Fury repeated throughout their fiery pre-fight build-ups. But there’s a twist: Usyk must first get past Daniel Dubois in a high-stakes Wembley fight on 19 July. If Usyk wins, he’ll become a two-time undisputed heavyweight king, setting up the trilogy with Fury as the ultimate decider.

But if Dubois shocks the world, Fury might pivot.

“If it’s not Usyk, then it’s Joshua,” Fury declared. “That’s the biggest British fight ever—100,000 fans at Wembley, sold out in an hour.”

Anthony Joshua, once the crown jewel of British boxing, was recently stopped by Dubois in a stunning upset last September. A Fury-Joshua clash remains a dream fight that’s never materialised—yet fans still crave it.

This week’s buzz marked yet another U-turn for Fury. On Monday, he insisted he was done with the sport. By Wednesday, he was posting photos, shaking hands with Alalshikh, writing, “Let’s see what 2026 brings.”

It’s classic Fury—mercurial, theatrical, and unpredictable.

While Usyk has remained laser-focused, Fury’s recent activities—attending boxing events, teasing fans, and sending cryptic posts—suggest the fire still burns. With a legacy at stake and a growing sense of unfinished business, his hunger to rewrite the ending appears real.

Fury has yet to fight in Britain since his 2022 demolition of Dillian Whyte. A return to Wembley would electrify the sport and cap a heavyweight trilogy for the ages.

But first, July 19 looms. If Usyk stumbles, the narrative may change. But if he triumphs, Fury’s words could become prophecy: Wembley. April 2026. The final chapter.
