There are hours to go until the highly-anticipated rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
Usyk vs Fury 2 has been in the making ever since the Ukrainian’s victory back in May, where Oleksandr Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999.
Tyson Fury meanwhile is on the hunt for revenge after suffering a first defeat of his professional career.
With the WBA, WBO, WBC and IBO heavyweight belts on the line, it really does feel like win or bust for both fighters.
Daniel Dubois could be waiting in the wings to take on the winner while Anthony Joshua will also watch on with eager eyes.
But, could there be a third fight between the two? Well, Turki Alalshikh has revealed all.

Although reports have claimed that there is no rematch clause in the terms of Usyk vs Fury 2, it appears that everything will be done to ensure it happens – so long as Fury wins.
During an interesting phone call that saw Alalshikh speak to Usyk and Fury over the phone, he said: “I want the third fight [Fury vs. Usyk]. I want trilogy. I want a third fight.
“Tyson, you owe me. Deliver the job.”
He also confirmed that if the ‘Gypsy King’ is able to beat Usyk at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, an offer will be made to arrange a third fight straightaway.
“I’ll try. I’ll make them an offer immediately,” he told iFL TV, despite claiming that he thinks Usyk will win again.

It’s no surprise to hear that should he beat Usyk, that Fury wants to make the trilogy fight to happen.
Usyk on the other hand is confident he can do the job for the second time again and if so, has no plans to entertain the ‘Gypsy King’ for a third time.

Fury won’t go down without a fight though and insists that a third fight must take place.
He told journalists: “There will be a rematch. A trilogy. There’s got to be. If he wins one and I win one, I can’t say I’m better and he can’t say he’s better. There has to be a third one.”
