Tyson Fury has declared himself ready to return to the ring to face Oleksandr Usyk for the third time.

Fury was beaten twice by Usyk last year, and announced his retirement from boxing in January, just weeks after his second loss to the Ukrainian.

But Usyk is not convinced Fury is done with the sport, and has claimed he would like a trilogy bout with either Fury or Anthony Joshua if he gets past Daniel Dubois in their rematch at Wembley Stadium on July 19.

Usyk has claimed he will only fight twice more before hanging up his gloves, with a clash against Fury or Joshua set to bring the curtain down on his glittering career.

And Fury has now answered Usyk’s call-out by insisting he is ready to face his rival once more, but this time wants it to happen in the UK after losing both their previous contests in Saudi Arabia.

Commenting on The Stomping Ground’s Instagram post that revealed Usyk’s preferred final opponent, Fury wrote: ‘Beat the f***er 2 times the world knows the truth.

‘Any time, any place. Sucker, UK next time 100k people.’

Fury may have been inspired to push for a stadium fight after seeing the success of Chris Eubank Jr’s grudge match with Conor Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night.

Eubank Jr emerged victorious in front of 67,000 fans in a fight of the year contender, and Fury may fancy his chances of replicating those scenes himself.

The Gypsy King has previously had two stadium fights, beating Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora at Wembley and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, respectively, in 2022.

Fury has come out of retirement on multiple occasions before, and his latest announcement at the start of the year was met with some scepticism by fans.

He gave a major hint that he is planning to make a comeback on Monday when he posted a video on social media of himself linking up with his trainer SugarHill Steward.

In the short clip, Fury told his 6.8million followers: ‘I’m just in the gym and happened to bump into somebody you might know. We are back.’

He panned across to Steward, who replied: ‘You know what time it is.’

Pointing down the camera, Fury then quipped: ‘You know what’s coming.’

Fury now looks set to make another comeback, but will first have to see if Usyk beats his fellow Brit Dubois this summer.

In the meantime, Fury could take on another challenge and finally face Anthony Joshua.

A fight between Fury and Joshua has been mooted for years but has never materialised.

It could now be the time for the domestic dust-up to take place, with the winner potentially earning the right to take on Usyk.
