For Tyson Fury, there are parallels between his multi-fight rivalry with Deontay Wilder, which stretched from December 2018 to October 2021, and a possible multi-fight rivalry with Oleksandr Usyk. 

He hopes, within the case of Usyk, that they may find yourself sharing three fights, for it will imply Fury has received the rematch, set for December 21 in Riyadh. He additionally is aware of, following his expertise with Wilder, that he must do extra on December 21 than simply field his strategy to a victory and depend on three ringside judges to ship him this win formally.
