“Usyk,” WBC and online heavyweight champion Tyson Fury said straight into the camera, “asshole.” Fury took the opportunity yesterday to beat rival WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight boxer Oleksandr Usyk after their fight hopes fell through. “You’re such an asshole, bug-eyed, crooked-toothed, ugly little rat,” Fury continued the video. “Dirty bastard, been trying all week to get out of it (the undisputed heavyweight title fight between the two men has been set for April in London). “Beg for a rematch like a little girl.”
Indeed, according to reports, it was the negotiations for a rematch that caused the Fury-Usyk fight – which has not even come to an end – to fall apart. Fury says in the video: “You have a rematch and you don’t want to fight after that, bitch,” Fury says in the video. “Always know, girl, that you’ve never been man enough for the King of Gypsy in your life. Damn you. Little boy 14 kicks cowardly. Bastard. You rat bastard.”
Fury later pointed out that those behind the scenes in the negotiations already knew what the truth was. “Your whole team knows that, too,” he said. “And all attorneys have received full information. Ugly bastard, keep running.” Fury ends the short video by pointing out that Usyk will have to deal with the fact that he won’t earn the glory and the money a fight with Fury will bring him.
“Fight (player Daniel) Dubois for a few bucks now, you bastard,” Fury scoffed, “and always know that you or anyone else like you can never sit at the table with the King of Rivers. Huh, you damn coward.” Suffice to say, Usyk may have his own unique approach when the Fury fight is over. He may be right, or he may be wrong. However, it is doubtful that he will be as eloquent as Fury.
