Tyson Fury Doubles Down on Claims After Usyk’s Victory Over Dubois

Tyson Fury has responded to Oleksandr Usyk’s recent victory over Daniel Dubois by reiterating his assertion that he won both of their previous encounters. Usyk faced Dubois on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium in London, where over 90,000 fans witnessed a decisive performance. From the outset, Usyk appeared aggressive, aiming for an early knockout, while Dubois, also known as “Triple D,” showcased moments of resilience but ultimately could not withstand Usyk’s tactical prowess.
The fight took a crucial turn when Dubois found himself on the canvas after a powerful left counter from Usyk. Although he managed to beat the referee’s count, he could not continue, leading to the referee stopping the contest. This victory marked Usyk’s second reign as the undisputed heavyweight champion.
Fury, who has a long-standing rivalry with Usyk, was expected to attend the event but was notably absent. Instead, he opted for a run and shared his thoughts on the fight via a video on his official Instagram account, where he expressed his respect for Usyk’s performance while simultaneously asserting his past victories over him.
In the video, Fury stated, “Massive shout out to Oleksandr Usyk. He did a fantastic job performance tonight over Daniel Dubois. But, Oleksandr Usyk knows there is one man who can beat him. I did it twice before and the world knows it.” He added, “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.”
Fury accompanied his remarks with a caption that read, “@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!” Their rivalry has intensified since they first clashed in May 2024, when Usyk won by a split decision, followed by another victory in December of the same year.
Following his victory over Dubois, Usyk reflected on his career and future, stating, “Thirty-eight is a young guy, remember… 38 is only the start.” He expressed a desire to spend time with his family before considering future opponents, including Fury, Derek Chisora, Anthony Joshua, and Joseph Parker.
In a notable announcement, Fury revealed that he plans to fight Usyk again, with their third match scheduled for April 18, 2026, also at Wembley Stadium. He posted a promotional fight poster on his Instagram, indicating he is eager to settle their rivalry once and for all.
Having already faced Usyk for a combined total of 24 rounds, Fury remains adamant that he was the rightful winner of their rematch last December. He expressed his frustration over the decision, claiming, “My last fight was a clear f****** victory for The Gypsy King. A complete load of dogs***.” He emphasized his desire for a fair fight, stating, “I want a fair fight and a fair result. Which I know I didn’t [get]. I thought I won it by five rounds.”
As the boxing world eagerly anticipates their next encounter, both fighters have made their positions clear, setting the stage for what promises to be a highly charged event in 2026.
