Is there a rematch clause for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 2?

TYSON FURY is looking to become world champion once again this weekend but he'll have it very tough against the man who beat him last time.

Oleksandr Usyk was superb in their fight back in May, scoring a knockdown en route to a split decision victory which saw him earn undisputed status in the heavyweight division.

As soon as the fight was over, however, Fury got on the microphone and immediately called for a rematch.

It was part of the contract for their first fight that the winner would be able to exercise a rematch clause, and that's exactly what Fury did.

Usyk will be looking to end this chapter with Fury with another big win on Saturday night, but if Fury wins, the Ukrainian will likely want to run things back a third time.

SunSport are on hand with all the details on whether or not Usyk will be able to do that.

This presents an unfavourable situation for Usyk, who was legally bound to give Fury a rematch the first time round, but may not have the favour returned if he loses the rematch.

Of course, if after two fights the score is even at one win apiece, boxing fans will be pining for a trilogy fight, as will promoters of the event.

So there remains every chance a third fight could happen. If Fury loses again, however, the chances of it happening are slim to none.

Usyk doesn't have to grant fury a third fight, and the demand from the public for one will be low.
