Tyson Fury takes a dig at Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to headline the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on December 21 for their highly anticipated rematch. Their first bout saw the Ukrainian battering the Brit like no man had before. Usyk emerged victorious via decision and became the first heavyweight boxer to unify all the belts after Lennox Lewis in 1999.

Ahead of their eagerly anticipated return action in December, 'The Gypsy King' took sharp jibes at the champion, asserting he couldn't finish him when he had the chance, and now the former champion is hungry for vengeance.

Fury posted a picture of the Ukrainian landing a solid jab in their first encounter on Instagram, captioning the post with:

"You had your shot but couldn’t finish the job! mistake! now your about to feel the wrath of A menace! f**k @usykaa f**k @klimasmanagement f**k @alex.krassyuk & if your down with usyk then f**k you2! Gypsy king 2024 coming for you! dec21 is mine🖕🏼me against the world 🌎 incoming 3x heavyweight champ!"
