Tyson Fury’s forthcoming 10-round fight with Francis Ngannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on October 28 includes a rematch provision, his opponent has confirmed. And that could potentially postpone a showdown with Oleksandr Usyk if he Fury suffers a surprise defeat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Fury had previously claimed no rematch clause for the fight, boxing fans persist in criticising the heavyweight at this point in his career, alleging that he is pursuing less challenging opponents for financial gain, thus delaying encounters with Usyk and Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n

The fight between Fury and Usyk has already been confirmed, and it is anticipated to occur either on December 23 or in the early part of next year in January. Usyk had previously suggested that he might be unprepared for a December fight. However, Fury maintained that he had no alternative but to move forward with his personally scheduled date.<\/p>\n

Securing the Fury fight was a significant accomplishment for Ngannou, who has mentioned that it will yield a payday greater than the sum of all his earnings from UFC fights. The opportunity for an even more substantial payout is on the horizon should he achieve a remarkable upset in the match.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, there’s a potential rematch clause,” Ngannou confirmed Monday on “The MMA Hour” with Ariel Helwani. “I don’t know exactly how to explain that language, but yes, there is a rematch inside it.<\/p>\n

“For [if I win], definitely. [If he beats me], that’s what I don’t know. We will see how it goes. That is why I have to win this fight. I have to do everything to get that rematch.”<\/p>\n

“The second fight would be after the PFL debut because the PFL fight is somewhere in the beginning of next year,” Ngannou continued. “Maybe in February or March of next year. I was talking with Pete Murray about it, and that’s the timeline.”<\/p>\n
