Fury's first showdown with Usyk ended in the first professional defeat of the British superstar's career, with the Ukrainian winning by split decision.
The self-styled Gypsy King immediately triggered a rematch, going ahead this Saturday.
Naturally, boxing fans are already looking ahead to 2025 and whether or not Usyk and Fury could spin this into a trilogy.
RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about a potential Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk rematch.
Is there a rematch clause for Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk?
Short answer: no. Regardless of the result in the ring during their first encounter, there are no plans for a trilogy fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury following their second fight.
Following the first bout, there was a two-way rematch clause in the contract, meaning the loser of the first duel reserved the right to trigger a second showdown – and Fury duly obliged.
While there is no formal rematch clause for a third fight, it is important to note that should Fury topple Usyk, the odds of a trilogy would dramatically shorten.
There would be huge demand for a money-spinning trilogy fight, especially given the lack of thrilling fights being made in the heavyweight division right now. Saudi boxing chief His Excellency Turki Alalshikh would no doubt sniff an opportunity for a winner-takes-all final bout.
If Usyk wins, the world is highly unlikely to see him accept another rematch against Fury, who would have lost his second ever professional bout – both to the same man.
Should Usyk or Fury stun the world by announcing their retirement following the fight on Saturday (again, it's impossible to rule anything out when it comes to Tyson Fury's career planning), they would not be forced to compete in a third showdown.
