Promoter Frank Warren says a three-way fight between Tyson Fury and one-time heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is done, as 'The Gypsy King' wins Saturday night's rematch at Saudi Arabia.

Killing Mega-Fight

If Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) wins on Saturday, fans would prefer to see him move on and face Anthony Joshua or Daniel Dubois instead. right to a third fight with Usyk. The third fight between them will take place later after Tyson fights the 35-year-old AJ, this time very shaken after being knocked out in five rounds by Dubois.

Given Joshua's vulnerable form, it would be a mistake for Fury to go for a third fight with Usyk. If Joshua gets beaten again while Tyson is slated to fight Oleksandr again, the boxing public will be very interested in seeing a Fury-Joshua matchup.

Full Time?

Warren insists that if Fury, 36, defeats Usyk, he will become one of the greatest fighters of all time. That's a bit of a bummer because the Gypsy King still lacks wins over high-quality fighters who are still young when he beats them.

Fury's Best Action Heroes

• Wladimir Klitschko
• Deontay Wilder
• Dillian Whyte
• Derek Chisora

You'd be hard-pressed to think that Fury's best wins would make him one of boxing's all-time greats. Even if he beats the 37-year-old Usyk on Saturday night, his streak is still thin enough to put him among boxing's greats, even if he's #1. That's a joke, no one takes it seriously.

Currently, Fury's #1 career win is a 12-round victory over 39-year-old Wladimir Klitschko. If you follow the Wlad fighter, you know he's a hero fade shop when Fury fought him, he was 27 years old.

Try to imagine where Fury would be when he was 39 years old and fighting one of the greatest fighters. You can't argue that he's great, and you'd have to spoil the win for a younger champion in Fury's older frame. That's why Fury can't be listed among boxing's all-time greats, as he has a very weak record.

Contract Trilogy

"Because it's contracted, and whatever happens if Tyson wins, if nobody retires," promoter Frank Warren told the Boxing News about the third match between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is under contract.

"Many reporters after the last fight...many of them said Usyk is the best heavyweight of his generation and deserves to be up there with the Ali's, the Lewis', and the Marciano's and all these guys coming back. period.

If Tyson (Usyk) beats him, Tyson turns, I think Tyson is still there. The fact that he is a two-time world champion (winning the title against Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder), the fact that he won his titles on the road in other people's countries , or in the adopted country (Germany for the fight against Wladimir, 39 years old. ). He (Fury) is there. A true hero, a hero. When it comes to this, he's a better fighter.
