Boxers Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury exchanged new challenges over a third fight. The Ukrainian showed his training and addressed the Briton, calling him a "pathetic belly," while the Briton responded by reposting the video and declaring his readiness to hold a "trilogy." This was reported by UNN, citing the athletes’ social media accounts.
Details
Usyk showed a workout on a treadmill, during which he addressed Tyson Fury: "Tyson, I’m coming for you, my brother. You pathetic belly."
"Still thinking about me?" Usyk addressed Fury on Instagram.
Fury reposted Usyk’s video in his stories, captioning it: "I want to fight a real man like you, brother," adding a rabbit emoji at the end—the nickname the Briton uses for the Ukrainian. Usyk himself said that he was the first to call himself a "rabbit." This happened after Tony Bellew called the Ukrainian a beast in boxing. Usyk responded at the time that he considered himself merely a "white rabbit."
Fury also challenged Usyk to a rematch in his stories.
"Here we are, people. Training hard in the gym. Doing what we do best. Oleksandr Usyk, you "middleweight"-"rabbit," I’m coming for you. You said you were looking for a real man to fight, well, here I am. I want to fight a real man like you, brother. You’ll be torn to pieces, you middleweight bum. Come here," Fury said.
The Briton later also posted on Instagram, calling on Usyk to hold a "trilogy."
"The trilogy is coming. Land of real men, time to take back what’s ours. The last dance between warriors of the modern world. Soon," Fury wrote.
