The prospect of a trilogy fight with Tyson Fury could tempt Oleksandr Usyk to call off his move out of the heavyweight division, says promoter Frank Warren.

Usyk has an outstanding legacy at heavyweight, having previously beaten Fury twice and twice become the undisputed champion of the division without losing a fight.

But he has previously also been an undisputed champion at cruiserweight and his team have revealed that he could return to his old weight class, where star names like David Benavidez and Jai Opetaia could become targets.

Fury though is eager to box Usyk for a third time and if he beats Anthony Joshua in their December mega-fight, that may nevertheless still be a more appealing option for Usyk than the potential fight with Benavidez.

"I would have thought so," Frank Warren, Fury's promoter, told Sky Sports.

Usyk does have options at heavyweight, as far as Warren is concerned. Warren also promotes WBC champion Agit Kabayel, new IBF titlist Filip Hrgovic and Moses Itauma.

Usyk, if he wished to, could fight "all of them" believes Warren. Kabayel, the popular German who defends against Nelson Hysa on November 28, could fill a stadium in Europe against Usyk.

Warren suggested as well for Usyk: "Him and Hrgovic, loads of fights, him and Moses, if Moses comes back. There are some fabulous fights to be made there. Him and Tyson, if Tyson comes through. Irrespective of the results, they were good fights to watch. They were exciting fights."

The 39-year-old Usyk has been boxing at heavyweight since 2019. Moving back down in weight after all that time - he could have to lose between 20lb-30lb - especially at this late stage of his career will be a physical challenge even for the brilliant Ukrainian.

The decision to go back to cruiserweight was unexpected. "I'm very surprised about that. It's very difficult as well to lose weight as you get older," Warren said.

"It's very difficult. It's not like he didn't look solid. He looked quite solid. He's got to shift some timber now to get down to that weight.

"I like Alex, I think he's been a great champion at heavyweight and to go back down again, it's going to be interesting to see what he looks like and how comfortable he makes the weight.

"He vacated the belts he didn't do his mandatories. We'll see. He's done everything that's been asked of him, maybe for him it's a smart move. We will see. Time will tell."
