TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk are back to trading verbal blows before they face off again.
The two fighters spent years feuding online before they finally met in the ring in a historic undisputed title decider in May. Tyson Fury sent out a warning to Oleksandr Usyk. Usyk became the first to defeat Fury and also the first four-belt heavyweight champion in one night following 12 classic rounds.
A rematch in Saudi Arabia is scheduled for December 21 after a period of silence from both men.
But that silence has now ended.
Fury, who has been unusually quiet on social media since his first loss, sent an ominous warning to Usyk following a training session. He said, “Just finished a lovely little run in the Bay with the lads. Working away, chipping away nicely.
“December 21st, Usyk you’re on notice. Come on!”
Usyk – who is in Paris to support Ukraine’s boxers in the 2024 Olympics – was quick to hit back in a cheeky fashion.
He said, “Hey, my friend Greedy Belly. Continuing training. I know you hard work, it’s good. I appreciate it. Thank you so much, Greedy Belly, you my friend, you are my friend.”
Usyk is a bona fide fans’ favorite for his genius in the ring and maverick personality outside the ropes. And fans loved his hilarious response to Fury, with one saying, “How can you not love Usyk?”
Another added, “Usyk is hilarious, man.”
One argued, “You can’t hate Usyk, can you?”
Another laughed, “Greedy Belly just sounds so funny.”
