The highly anticipated fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk this year has both fighters engaging in strategic mental games. The tension between these two boxers was recently fueled by Usyk’s tweet in which he made fun of Fury’s body by referring to him as “belly.”

This year’s highly awaited boxing match between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will finally take place in the ring, putting an end to the unresolved dispute between the two fighters. Fury’s co-promoter Frank Warren has given a sneak peek at the good by stating that they have sent a draft to Oleksandr Usyk’s team. 

Boxing fans are quite excited about this fight, which has been termed the Boxing World Cup, between the WBC heavyweight champion and the heavyweight champions of the WBA, IBF, and WBO. The highly awaited fight will likely take place in March, according to the most recent updates, and it will either take place in Saudi Arabia or the United Kingdom.

Usyk has a perfect 20-0 record in the ring with 13 knockouts whereas Fury has an incredible 33-0-1 record with 24 knockouts. In their most recent fights, both Usyk and Fury were victorious: Usyk against Anthony Joshua and Fury against Derek Chisora.

Back in September of last year, Fury was the one who sparked the rivalry between himself and the Ukrainian by stating,  ‘I’m a seven-foot, 20-stone behemoth and I will destroy you, middleweight. Find your balls and come see me, b***h.’

Despite the fact that Fury made fun of Usyk by calling him a middleweight, Usyk was the one who came out on top and won the heavyweight gold medal in the Olympics in London in 2012. Not forgetting that insult, Usyk didn’t hit back at Fury until yesterday with a tweet titled ‘The Middleweight is here! Where are you Belly? @Tyson_Fury’.

The Cat also released a picture of himself appearing to be in great physical condition to take on The Gypsy King. Osyk’s jab was aimed at Fury’s recent weight gain, despite the fact that both of them compete in the heavyweight weight class division. Fury responded to Usyk’s tweet by threatening to finish in the ring.

‘You ugly little man. Let’s get it on b****. You may laugh now but I’ll end this lil sucker. I’ll end you. You little sucker. What are you gonna do? You’re gonna do f*** all you little sausage.’ said Fury.

If everything goes as planned and they come to an agreement, boxing fans will be treated to a spectacular battle in either Saudi Arabia or the United Kingdom.
