Turki to Usyk: "You’re Ruining My Plans. I Want a Trilogy"

Turki Alalsheikh, the Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi Arabia, arranged a video conference between former champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) and the reigning unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) ahead of their December 21 rematch.

During the conversation, Al Al-Sheikh expressed his desire for Fury to win so that a trilogy fight could take place in 2025.

Turki to Fury: "You’re ready. You owe me one rabbit."

Fury: "The rabbit is coming. One cooked rabbit."

Turki: "One rabbit in the kitchen. There’s room."

Fury: "The rabbit’s in the pot. I’m just wrapping up my camp."

Turki to Usyk: "We’re ready for you. Our kitchen has room for another rabbit."

Usyk: "See you on December 21."

Turki: "You’re ruining my plans. I want a third fight. I want a trilogy. I need that third fight."

Fury: "When I beat him on the 21st, there’ll 100% be a trilogy. There has to be a trilogy."

Turki: "Please, Tyson, finish the job."

Fury: "I’ll take it all back because we need that trilogy in Saudi Arabia."

Usyk: "I’ll win again."

Fury: "No, you’ll lose again."

Turki: "In the first fight, Tyson made many mistakes. Now he knows his mistakes. This time, it’ll be tough. No more dancing."

Fury: "No more dancing."

Usyk: "Those are my dances. I don’t take breaks. After the fight, I go straight back to the gym. I’m always training."

Fury: "I can’t wait. December 21 is my time. The belts are coming back home, and in 2025, we’ll have an epic trilogy."

Usyk (laughing): "Okay, guys."

Turki: "Let’s see. Tyson, don’t repeat that home-fight performance in the sixth round. When you land, finish him."

Fury: "I will."

Turki: "Don’t dance. You’re on my Ring Magazine cover."

Fury: "Amazing."

Turki: "There’s also a giant poster as a gift. Tyson, you owe me. Finish the job."

Fury: "I’ll get it done."

For context, on May 18, Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by a split decision, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 25 years. The highly anticipated rematch will take place on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
