Anger made it clear after announcing his comeback with Arslanbek Makhmudov that he believes the third fight with Usyk will finally happen on his terms. His comments showed that he is still considered the business center of the group despite the results that removed him from the championship.
Anger is focused on the Usyk trilogy
“I promise you one thing, at the end of the year, he will be begging me for a fight,” Fury said today. press conference. “Whoever fights me is very rich, no one else in the division can bring that kind of entertainment and money.”
Usyk won the upset by decision in consecutive fights, established the highest level in the ring and dominated the competition. Those defeats left Fury without a title and without the negotiating position he once held, forcing him to rebuild his credibility through intense competition.
The anger, however, insisted that he did not accept the validity of those results.
“I know, in my heart, I won their fights,” Fury said. “If we fight again with Usyk, I know I will get the decision now.”
His immediate priority is his return on April 11 against Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. This fight will be Fury’s first since stepping down from boxing following Usyk’s second loss, and represents the start of his bid to re-enter the heavyweight championship picture.
Makhmudov’s physical size and knockout record provide a reliable test for a fighter coming back from a losing streak. How well Fury can handle that threat will determine if he can pursue more big fights against the defending champion.
Fury expressed his belief that he can still improve his position in the group.
“I still feel at my best,” Fury said. “I have a lot to offer, and there are still some big fights out there for me that I know I can win.”
Tyson’s position in the heavyweight division now depends on strong results rather than past achievements. Other contenders and title holders remain active as the fighter leaves the ring, and a win over Makhmudov should restore his importance to the fighters currently competing for the championship. Without that step, any discussion of a three-way battle with Usyk remains a matter of perspective rather than standing.
Fury’s commercial value remains significant, but the recovery of the competition will depend on results rather than popularity. His road back to the third fight with Usyk starts with proving that he can still perform at the level needed to re-establish himself in the heavyweight division.
