Tyson Fury announces a third fight against Oleksandr Usyk for 2026.
The boxing world is gearing up for another epic chapter. Tyson Fury has revealed that a third fight against the unified heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk, is scheduled for April 18, 2026, at Wembley Stadium, London.
The announcement was made by Fury himself through his social media on Thursday.
The news comes after Turki Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority and owner of Ring Magazine, mentioned on Wednesday the return of Fury in 2026.
Usyk is scheduled to face Daniel Dubois on July 19 for the undisputed heavyweight title at Wembley.
Fury and Usyk have faced each other twice in 2024, with victories for Usyk on both occasions.
The former heavyweight champion had also been linked to a possible fight with Anthony Joshua.
Who would I prefer to fight right now? Usyk. Because I want my rematch in England. That’s all I want. I want a fair chance and I don’t think I’ve had it in the last two times.

Fury hinted that, if the fight with Usyk didn’t happen, he would consider facing Joshua.
If I don’t get that, then it would be Joshua, the biggest British fight that will ever happen. It would break records and sell 100,000 tickets at Wembley in an hour. It’s a fight that I think can happen for sure if I decide to come back and if the deal is right.
