That is because the Gypsy King wants an Oleksandr Usyk trilogy.

The Ukrainian sensation is 1-0 up after stunning Fury to achieve undisputed world heavyweight status in May.
But Fury reckons beating Usyk in Riyadh on Saturday will earn him a blockbusting decider.
He said: “When I win on Saturday, I think there’s got to be a trilogy next year for sure.
“Joshua’s in tatters.
“He has got to pick up the pieces from his last fight.
“But fighting Usyk on Saturday, and the one after, would be fantastic for me.”
AJ was meant to beat Daniel Dubois to earn a 2025 showdown with the Gypsy King.
But the Watford ace suffered a brutal fifth-round KO and rejected a rematch.

Fury was fuming, calling the London 2012 hero a “silly c***” for costing him £150million.
But now he wants the Usyk trilogy to rival greats like Muhammad Ali v Joe Frazier.
Fury told Al Arabiya: “It’s not revenge, just me smashing his face in.
“Not in a million years will I walk away after this.
“All great dance partners have trilogies. Facts.”
In August, Francis Ngannou warned the pair off fighting each other.
He insisted the pair “don’t want the smoke” as he could not split them in a prediction.
Meanwhile, Fury’s opponent Usyk bizarrely called out Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
The Frenchman hilarious responded as he said: “Sometimes you have to stay in your lane and I will stay in my lane.”
