Oleksandr Usyk cemented his spot in history after beating Anthony Joshua, for the second time in their rematch. Following his emphatic victory, the unified heavyweight champion set his sights on the WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury. Usyk has been hoping to get a shot at Fury for the bragging rights of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion.

However, Fury expressed his interest in facing the man Usyk beat, Anthony Joshua. This was after the Ukranian boxer revealed that he will not compete again this year citing an injury as the issue. As a result, The Gypsy King became adamant to wait for Usyk to be ready and instead plans to fight in December, ideally against Joshua.
Usyk was recently asked to share his thoughts on Fury opting to fight in December instead of next year during an interview on his USYK17 YouTube channel. The unified champ then stated that Fury was ‘afraid’ to face him in a match, therefore, choosing Joshua as his next opponent. Usyk said, “Despite his toughness and how he is generally described, he is afraid. Yes, of me.”

However, it looks like Fury isn’t too keen on letting Usyk take shots at him in interviews. This was proved after Fury took to social media and called out both ‘AJ’ and ‘Usyk’ in a rant.

Tyson Fury went on to insult the Ukrainian boxer by calling him a “s**t house,” and also provided an update on the Joshua situation. He claimed that he had already sent the former champ a fight contract but hasn’t received a signature from AJ.

Fury iterated, “Usyk you little s**t house you little s**t bag talking s**t. And that big bodybuilder Joshua that’s a proper s**t house that is. I’ve sent the contract for I don’t know how long and he ain’t signing it you little sausage. You do not want to fight, your manager is a sausage. I’ve never said anything like this.”

He also stated that he would be willing to fight on December 3rd, if Joshua signed the contract, which he thought was highly unlikely.
Fury further added, “Both are a pack of s**t houses. However, I will be fighting December 3rd if this sausage signs the contract which I don’t think he is. I don’t think he’s got the bollocks cause he’s a s**bag. Both of you are sausage s**thouses, Joshua is a s**t house Usyk is a s**t house.”

Fury certainly looks all set to face Johsua next. However, many feel that he should face Usyk next year as that would be the right match, even though it might not generate the same revenue as the Joshua fight.
