OLEKSANDR USYK has opened the door to fight Anthony Joshua for the THIRD TIME to complete a trilogy.
Usyk won the unified heavyweight titles against AJ in September 2021, before defending them in a rematch in Saudi Arabia a year later.
He has since defeated Tyson Fury to become the first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion.
Meanwhile, AJ has bounced back with four wins since his double loss to Usyk.
And now he challenges Daniel Dubois for the IBF belt vacated by Usyk, who will rematch Fury on December 21st.
If Joshua defeats Dubois and Usyk overcomes Fury again, it could pave the way for a blockbuster trilogy.
Usyk told Daily Mail: “I don’t particularly want a rematch, but when we beat Tyson Fury for the second time and when Anthony Joshua beats Daniel Dubois, of course they will want to have a third fight.
“From my point of view I have no right to deny Anthony a third fight because he gave me two incredible fights.
“Anthony helped me become even more famous in the world. Anthony did it.
“And if that happens with God’s help, then I’m ready for a third fight with Anthony.”

Usyk, 37, was forced to vacate the IBF belt to proceed with his rematch against Fury, 35, in Riyadh.
Thus, Dubois, 26, was elevated from interim champion and will defend it against Joshua, 34, on September 21 at Wembley.
And Usyk is backing AJ’s win, saying: “He’s an Olympic champion and a UK champion – Anthony is on a different level.”
After Joshua knocked out former UFC star Francis Ngannou, 37, in March, his coach Ben Davison called for a trilogy against Usyk.
Davison said: “That’s the fight we would love to do. We’d love the chance to help Joshua fix this.”
