Fury had recently issued a stern warning to Usyk as he began the training camp for the fight. He further followed it up with a rather rude message later on. Fury said, “We’re in the gym. We’re getting ready to smash Oleksandr the b*tch Usyk. The happy teeth cat, little ugly bast*rd. You’re getting it. In six weeks’ time, you’re history. And I’ll still be the Gypsy King. Come on.”
These statements come at a time when Fury had called for a 70/30 fight purse split. Usyk, on the other hand, surprisingly agreed to the deal while also putting forward a condition. With all the hype and drama around the fight. It is almost certain that fans are in for a treat on fight night.
Tyson Fury draws the ire of fans for ‘firing himself up’
Boxing fans were not too happy with Fury’s message for Usyk. What further added fuel to this fire was the fact that Fury took personal digs at Usyk. In fact, a lot of fans took to social media to share their thoughts about the same.
He's rattled. He didn't think Usyk would accept the offer. He got backed into a corner and could no longer escape, that's why greedy belly is so mad right now.

Firing himself up nicely.
He needs to be. Usyk’s dental work & looks are the least of his worries.
Size notwithstanding he’s facing the best technical boxer of his career.
Finally!
I’m looking forward to an actual professional boxing match for the first time in a long time.
