But Joshua suffered a brutal KO defeat to Dubois – while Fury is yet to rematch Oleksandr Usyk.

And with AJ seemingly out of the picture for now, the Gypsy King is open to a stunning trilogy series with Usyk.

He said ahead of the console release of boxing video game Undisputed: “I believe it’ll be one of the great trilogies, me and Usyk, like Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney going back to them days.

“They were great fights. And I believe when I beat him again, I’ll definitely do a trilogy with him, 100 per cent. Got to be, one each and then we’ll do a trilogy.”

Usyk, 37, became the first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion in history when he took Fury’s WBC belt and unbeaten record.

But to proceed with their rematch, he was forced to vacate the IBF title which Dubois, 27, inherited after being elevated from interim champ.

And he sensationally KOd Joshua, 34, in his first defence to further shelve Fury’s plan to face AJ.

Joshua has since held talks with promoter Eddie Hearn and Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh.

And a rematch with Dubois – eyed for February – is already in the works.

But Fury, 36, does still have his eyes on long-time rival Joshua and next opponent Usyk.

Tyson Fury willing to wait until he’s 50-YEARS-OLD to fight Anthony Joshua and says rival ‘knows he’s getting it’

He said: “I look forward to fighting the rabbit again in December and then I’d love to do a trilogy with him after that.

“Joshua, he knows he’s getting it.

“Even if we’re 50 years old he’s got to fight me. There’s no escaping it, he cannot escape me.

“Even if we are 50, we’re still going to sell out Wembley. That is a fact, and anybody they can all get it.”
