Turki Alalshikh hints that Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk rematch clause could be bypassed with huge fight waiting for winner

The winner of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk could be in line for a monstrous fight.

Boxing chief Turki Alalshikh has hinted that Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk could bypass their rematch clause, teasing a huge fight for the winner.

The undisputed showdown between Fury, who’s the WBC champion, and Usyk, who holds the WBA (super), IBF, WBO and The Ring Magazine titles, is set for May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Speaking in a pre-fight press conference, Fury revealed the ‘secret weapon’ he’s got to beat Usyk.

However, the self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’ has been tipped to withdraw from next month’s huge meeting, having backed out of their original February clash.

If Fury and Usyk fight on May 18, then they will run it back as per the terms in their contracts.

But a rematch could be scrapped, according to Saudi advisor Alalshikh, who took to social media to tease a monstrous fight for the undisputed winner.

He posted a picture of himself alongside Anthony Joshua, accompanied with the caption: “We are waiting for the result of Usyk vs Fury.”

Joshua replied: “Patience is a virtue.”

‘AJ’ is fresh off a brutal knockout victory over Francis Ngannou.

He stopped the former UFC champion in devastating fashion to record his fourth win in a row since losing to Usyk.

The British star has seemingly punched his ticket for a shot at the world titles, with WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman claiming there would be nothing standing in the way of him taking on the winner of Fury vs. Usyk.

“The WBC was presented a sanction request which was to fight for the undisputed. The WBC accepted that sanctioning and we accepted the rematch they have requested,” he said.

“But, if it is not anything to do with contractual or promotion, we would absolutely accept the winner to fight Joshua.

“The WBC has been very much attentive to this matter. So, we have completely freed the ground for the undisputed, for a rematch, and for another fight of that level.

“The WBC position right now is very open to support the undisputed champion taking on the fights that the fans want to see.”
