Tyson Fury has swiftly responded to Oleksandr Usyk's brutal knockout of Daniel Dubois, insisting again that he won their two previous encounters. Usyk and Dubois faced off for the second time on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium, with a crowd of over 90,000 spectators. From the outset, it was clear that the Ukrainian was on the offensive, evidently seeking an early KO.

Despite showing some promise, 'Triple D' couldn't match the agility of the 'Cat', who used his nimble footwork to evade any danger. After having Usyk cornered, Dubois found himself floored. He managed to beat the count, only to be met with a devastating left counter from the Ukrainian which stopped hte fight early. The 38-year-old veteran secured the undisputed heavyweight title for the second time, leaving fans wondering what's next.

It was anticipated that Usyk's long-standing rival, Fury, would be present at the Saturday night showdown after attending a pre-fight event at Wembley. However, the 'Gypsy King' was conspicuously absent.

Instead of watching the fight ringside, the Morecambe fighter opted for a run but was quick to voice his opinion on the bout in a video posted on his official Instagram page.

"Massive shout out to Oleksandr Usyk. He did a fantastic job performance tonight over Daniel Dubois," he began. "They came for a good tear up. So, congratulations to both men. But, Oleksandr Usyk knows there is one man who can beat him. I did it twice before and the world knows it. I have been f*****.

"I took it like a man. Here is me... not f****** around at some boxing match. I am out on the road running. I am running tonight. I came home. I did my job and I got myself back. I am the man. I am the f****** spartan. And no matter what anyone wants to say, I f****** won those fights. Guaranteed. 100 per cent. There is only one man! Get up!"

He captioned the post: "@usykaa congratulations. There's only one man who can beat you again and that's a Gypsy K Tyson Fury done it twice regardless of what the politics say!"

The pair locked horns on two occasions last year, with the Ukrainian emerging victorious in both encounters. Their initial meeting took place in May 2024, where an enthralling contest saw Usyk claim victory by split decision.

Seven months later, they returned to settle the score once more, with the 'Gypsy King' displaying greater aggression but ultimately falling short on points again. Following his triumph over Dubois, Usyk spoke about his future, stating: "Thirty eight is a young guy, remember... 38 is only the start.

"This is for the people, it's for our world's people. This is enough. Next? I don't know. I want to rest. I want to go back home to my wife, my family."

When probed about potential opponents, Usyk mentioned: "Maybe Tyson Fury. Maybe Derek Chisora. Maybe Anthony Joshua. Maybe Joseph Parker."

Fury has announced his next fight date following his decision to step back into the ring. The Brit disclosed that his third clash with Usyk is scheduled for 18 April 2026 at Wembley Stadium.

Taking to Instagram, the 36-year-old posted a fight poster of himself and the Ukrainian, with the caption: "April 18, 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy! UK. Contact @spencerbrownmrgoldstar for tickets."

After two intense fights with Usyk, Fury insists he was the rightful winner of their rematch in December. He declared: "My last fight was a clear f****** victory for The Gypsy King. Anybody in boxing can see that. A complete load of dogs***.

"I want a fair fight, I don't want any favours, I want a fair fight and a fair result. Which I know I didn't [get]. I thought I won it by five rounds. I watched it 250 times. Each way I never see it as a way for him to win. They can do what they want. If they say it's Tuesday it's Tuesday."
