Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk Trilogy: Wembley Showdown Set for April 2026

Tyson Fury hints at a historic trilogy fight with Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley Stadium in April 2026, promising an epic showdown in the heavyweight division.

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has dropped a major hint that he will face Oleksandr Usyk in a highly anticipated trilogy bout at Wembley Stadium in April 2026. Fury, who retired in January 2025 after losing a title fight rematch to Usyk, took to social media to announce, "April 18, 2026, Wembley Stadium. The trilogy!"

Fury's co-promoters, Queensberry, confirmed that discussions are ongoing with Team Fury and Riyadh Season, the annual cultural and sporting event in Saudi Arabia. This follows a statement from Saudi boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh, who claimed Fury would come out of retirement for the fight. "The 'Gypsy King' will be back," Alalshikh said on X. "I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026. We have a rabbit to hunt."

Fury and Usyk have a storied rivalry, with both of their previous title fights held in Riyadh. Usyk won their first encounter in May 2024 by split decision, becoming the heavyweight division's first undisputed four-belt champion. The trilogy bout may hinge on the outcome of Usyk's upcoming fight with Daniel Dubois in July 2025.

Fury has expressed his desire for a fair shot in the trilogy, stating, "I don't believe I've got a fair shout the last two times. That's all I want." He also mentioned the possibility of a historic British showdown with Anthony Joshua, should the Usyk fight not materialize. "It would break all records, and it would sell out 100,000 at Wembley in an hour," Fury said.

The potential Fury vs. Usyk trilogy at Wembley promises to be a landmark event in boxing history, drawing global attention and setting new records in the sport.
