Boxing News: Tyson Fury Sends 6-Word Warning to Oleksandr Usyk Ahead of Undisputed Fight

A fight as big as the one between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk only comes once in a long time. This historic fight will crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. As expected, a warning has been issued to Usyk before he meets him inside the ring.

The fight between the two monsters was in talks for a long time, with no success. Usyk ended up fighting against Daniel Dubois and Fury beat Francis Ngannou. But it is finally time. The much-awaited fight is set to happen this February. As D-day dawns closer and closer, the fighters have started their verbal sparring. As of now, Fury’s side has set off a warning shot to the Ukrainian.

In a post made by Top Rank Boxing, one-half of Fury’s promoter duo, on social media platform X, they shared Fury’s message to Usyk that the Gypsy King said during their press conference in November to confirm the date. The post quoted Fury saying, “You’re gonna get smashed to pieces.” Both fighters are currently undefeated, it is clear that Fury is trying to change that. While Usyk is not new to the sport, whether he succumbs to Fury’s pressure or not remains to be seen.

Additionally, Fury has also directed multiple insults at Usyk during the lead-up to their match. The event dubbed ‘Ring of Fire’ is sure to bring about many exciting turns in the boxing community. The whole world is split between backing the Gypsy King or the Ukranian.

Meanwhile, in another interesting development, one of Tyson Fury’s sparring partners has left his camp just weeks before the fight. But why?

In preparation for his crucial rematch against Mairis Briedis, cruiserweight champion, Jai Opetaia strategically chose to spar with the heavyweight titan Tyson Fury to enhance his skills against an orthodox fighter, similar to Mairis. Despite Opetaia’s undefeated record, a recent tweet from IFL TV disclosed an unforeseen setback in his training. Opetaia left Fury’s camp and returned to Australia after just five rounds of sparring with Tyson Fury due to the lack of orthodox sparring partners in Saudi.
