Tyson Fury launched a foul-mouthed rant at Oleksandr Usyk after an 11-minute staredown. The pair had to be pulled apart after they locked eyes for an age before Fury exploded into a tirade of abuse at the WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight champion at their press conference. Fury, 36, said: “He’s getting f***ed, I was 50 per cent last time, you were the best you’ve ever been and you still couldn’t do s***.
“You couldn’t do f*** all. Don’t you be afraid you rabbit looking f***er. I won’t leave you alone. You ugly little b******. I’m butchering you. You are going to wake up in the hospital you clown. You got a gift decision you clown. I’m the man, I’m the f***ing champion. You ugly rat b******. You are a rat. I’ll beat you seven days a week.”.
Usyk didn’t seem bothered by the tirade as he just replied to tell Fury to “not be afraid” and that he “wouldn’t leave him alone”. The pair locked eyes for 11 minutes and 26 seconds before they started exchanging insults in fiery scenes ahead of their huge rematch this weekend. Fury's wife Paris was in attendance at the press conference after the Gypsy King had claimed he had not spoken to his partner in three months.
Usyk outpointed Fury on a split decision in May to claim the crown of undisputed heavyweight champion. The Ukrainian was forced to give up the IBF belt but the winner this weekend will still be regarded as the No 1 in the division. Usyk, 37, had arrived into the press conference with a live band and a large group of singers.
