“Hi bro, I’m ready every time. I’m ready for Las Vegas, New York, Saudi Arabia, anything.
“Shut up! Greedy stomach is my friend,” Usyk said while laughing in the clip posted by Turki Alalshikh.

The comments immediately created speculation about Fury because Usyk did not directly mention his upcoming fight against Rico Verhoeven on May 23 in Egypt.
That fight is widely considered a serious mismatch given Usyk’s achievements in boxing compared to Verhoeven’s limited professional boxing experience, despite his kickboxing success.
Usyk and Fury have fought twice, with Usyk winning both fights. Another meeting between them is likely to generate enormous money due to the commercial success and attention surrounding their rivalry.
Fury is also expected to face Anthony Joshua later this year after both heavyweights take set-up fights in the summer months.
The way Usyk mentioned Fury in the clip was an undisguised sign that he still wants a third fight despite already having two wins over him. Usyk previously named Fury, Verhoeven and the winner of the Wardley-Dubois fight as the last three opponents he wanted before retirement.
As Usyk has already beaten Daniel Dubois twice, including their 2023 stoppage, it remains unclear whether he has any real interest in facing him again. Some fans believe Usyk may have expected Fabio Wardley to defeat Dubois before he finalized that retirement plan.
A third Fury fight would also likely generate far more global interest and revenue than another meeting with Dubois at this stage.
