Oleksandr Usyk May RIP Tyson Fury Trilogy Due to Avoided Challenger
Oleksandr Usyk has stated that he may deviate from his original plan to fight Tyson Fury for a third time and instead face risky heavyweight Agit Kabayel.
Usyk recently revealed a three-fight plan before he hangs up the gloves, starting with Rico Verhoeven on May 23 in Egypt and ending with a third fight against Fury, whom he has already beaten twice.
The WBC has cleared the Ukrainian champion to defend his title against former kickboxing champion Verhoeven, provided he faces interim champion Kabayel next.
“Three fights [remaining]– said the 39-year-old Inside the Ring.
“Rico, this is a first.
“Secondly, who will win [between Fabio] Wardley and [Daniel] Dubois i [the] the third fight is my friend, “Greedy Belly” Tyson Fury.
Usyk faced criticism in some quarters for not including Kabayel on his shortlist.
However, “The Cat” apparently changed his mind and insisted that he could face the German instead of the “Gypsy King”, who returns to the ring April 11 against Arslanbek Makhmudov.
“Maybe [I’ll fight] Kabayel,” Usyk said Daily mail box.
“Maybe we will change [from] Tyson [Fury to] maybe Kabayel.
“This is a plan. This is my plan, but I don’t know God’s plan.
“I understand Agit fans [saying]”Usyk, you have to fight.”
“I never have to [fight anyone].
“I have to live my life, my team and my baby.
“I waited many times for my chance.
“Maybe it’s possible. Maybe I’ll fight Agit. Right now I have no idea.”
“He’s a great fighter, astute.”

Verhoeven will fight for the second time as a professional, challenging Usyk at the Pyramids of Giza.
The two-weight world champion was expected to face Wardley, but instead he relinquished his WBO title and the Briton was subsequently promoted from the interim title list to full world champion.
The 31-year-old will defend his crown for the first time on May 9 against former world champion Dubois, who was stopped by Usyk in five rounds at Wembley Stadium in July.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
