Usyk wants Joshua trilogy

Meanwhile, Joshua is scheduled to face Daniel Dubois for the IBF title on September 21 at Wembley Stadium.

“I don’t particularly want any matches. But, when we beat Tyson Fury for the second time and when Anthony Joshua beats Daniel Dubois, of course they will want to do a third fight,” Usyk told Mail Sport Boxing.

The Ukrainian boxer, who has twice defeated Joshua by decision, acknowledged the British-Nigerian’s role in elevating his global profile.

“Anthony helped me become even more famous in the world. Anthony did it. And if it happens with God’s help, then I am ready for a third fight with Anthony,” Usyk said.

Usyk also praised Joshua’s recent performances, noting his improved mental strength.
