British boxer Tyson Fury and WBC, WBA, and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk exchanged statements regarding a possible third fight. Fury stated that the "greedy belly" is ready for another serving of "rabbit pie," while Usyk replied that he is ready, calling the Briton a "miserable belly." The boxers shared this in comments to The Ring, reports UNN.
I'm on the treadmill, on the machine. Running like Rocky Balboa. After I beat Joshua, I want to fight his "sensei." I want a rematch with the "Rabbit." I want it in London, or Las Vegas, or New York, baby
Usyk replied to Fury that he is "always ready."
I'm ready. Always. I'm ready. Las Vegas, New York, Saudi Arabia. Anywhere. Come on, "miserable belly" - my friend
Fury added that the "greedy belly" is ready for another portion.
First, I'll start with that dosser Joshua, and I'll knock him out. And then I'm coming back for the rabbit pie. The "greedy belly" is ready for some more rabbit pie. It's only me. There's nobody else. I'm the gold mine. Come on. You want big money? It's not with Aggy Kabala. It's not with Anthony Joshua. It's not with Dubois. It's with the "Gypsy King." Come on. London, New York, Las Vegas. Let's have some fun, baby
Addendum
Fury's words regarding Rocky Balboa likely referred to Usyk's preparation for the fight against Rico Verhoeven, which will take place on May 23 in Cairo, Egypt.
The day before, Usyk and Anthony Joshua held a training session, which the Ukrainian shared on Instagram, recreating scenes from the movie "Rocky 3" featuring the legendary Sylvester Stallone, who plays the role of Rocky Balboa.
Usyk and Joshua repeated Rocky Balboa's training with Apollo Creed to the track "Gonna Fly Now" on the beach.
Notably, in May 2024, Oleksandr Usyk became the undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion by defeating Briton Tyson Fury.
In December of the same year, Usyk defeated Briton Tyson Fury in a rematch in Riyadh. The champion retained the WBA Super, WBO, WBC, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight titles.
