Fury hints Usyk trilogy bout will be at Wembley in April

Tyson Fury, the former world heavyweight champion, has indicated that he will face Oleksandr Usyk in a trilogy fight at Wembley Stadium in April 2026.

Fury, 36, left boxing in January after winning a title fight rematch with Usyk by unanimous decision the previous month.

“April 18 2026 Wembley Stadium. Fury posted a three-part ” trilogy ” on Thursday on social media.

Queensberry, one of Fury’s co-promoters, confirmed to BBC Sport that the annual cultural and sporting event, Riyadh Season, is being discussed with Team Fury and Saudi Arabia.

Fury will leave retirement next year, according to Saudi boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh on Wednesday.

In a post on X, Alalshikh declared, “The ‘Gypsy King’ will be back.

He and I spoke, and it was his promise to meet him in the 2026 Riyadh Season. To hunt an rabbit, we have one.

In the lead-up to their title fights, both of which took place in Riyadh, Fury frequently referred to Usyk as a “rabbit.”

By splitting decision, the Ukrainians became the first undisputed four-belt champion in the heavyweight division in May 2024.

Over a photo of him posing with Alalshikh, the head of Saudi Arabia’s general entertainment authority, Fury wrote “Let’s see what 2026 brings.” In a post on Instagram on Wednesday, Fury wrote, “Let’s see what 2026 brings.”

Alalshikh has helped to spur Saudi Arabia on the rise of boxing, bringing a number of famous fights to the country.

Fury earlier in the day stated to reporters that he would prefer a three-fight showdown with Usyk on his own turf at an IBA (International Boxing Association) event in Istanbul.

He also stated earlier this week in various interviews that he had no desire to retire, before making a U-turn on Wednesday.

“I don’t think I’ve screamed enough the last two times,” I thought. All I want is that. Fury said, “I want a fair shout, and I don’t think I’ve got a fair shout the last two times.”

The biggest British fight that will ever take place is between Anthony Joshua and Anthony Joshua, but that’s the one I want.

It would “break all records” and have sold 100,000 tickets to Wembley in an hour. And if I decide to return, I’m certain that it will happen.
