Not to be outdone by Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis, who were involved in a Twitter clash, WBC and world online heavyweight champion Tyson Fury took to Twitter on Friday to address the tennis player directly. WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweights Oleksandr Usyk in a video match titled “Special message to @usykaa. “
“Usyk,” Fury began, “Middleweight. You say you want WBC and it’s in the hands of the gangsters. It is held by the gangsters. It is held by the Gypsy King and it is held tightly. Hold on tight, and all roads lead to a giant seven-foot path and I’ll completely destroy you, middling. “However, that is only the beginning.
“Middleweight,” Fury continued, “you’re going to be smashed. You said you wanted to fight me after you beat the body builder (Anthony Joshua), called me out on television and now you’re being a runaway asshole, hiding behind saying you got screwed love. You weren’t injured, you had a competition. Fury then ended things with a challenge.
“Go out and fight in December,” he said. “You keep your mouth shut. See if you can back it up, midsize. It doesn’t matter whether December or April or August next year, the outcome will be the same. I will erase you. I am a 7 foot 20 tall stone giant and I will destroy you, middleweight. Find your ball. Come see me. Bastard! “
For what it’s worth, Usyk doesn’t seem to be the type to be mesmerized by Fury’s trash talk. “All the fictitious comments against me,” Usyk told Sports sky In Fury’s mind game, “he probably thought it would move me. But it won’t. “There really doesn’t seem to be anything that can take the 20-0 fighter out of his zone.
For instance, after taking the title against Anthony Joshua last September in the UK, Usyk held Joshua out in a Saudi Arabia rematch last week, although Joshua’s performance has improved markedly compared to his. with the first time you and Usyk fought. With that said, Fury is considerably larger than Usyk, who was the king of the cruiser weight class before moving to heavyweight. Again, Joshua is also considerably larger than Usyk.
Although Fury has announced he’s retired, most people believe he won’t pass up the chance to face Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight crown. “He wants to fight me. He wants people to talk about him,” Usyk said Sports sky. “He hasn’t retired yet, it’s just a game – ‘I’m leaving boxing’, ‘I’m coming back’. He still wants to make money.” Indeed, both men would have made a decent amount of money if they had come down for the undisputed heavyweight championship soon.
