Tyson Fury has not fought in the boxing ring since last year. This has left fans eagerly awaiting his return. Even after the highly anticipated match against Oleksandr Usyk broke down, Fury continued to trash-talk his opponent.
Meanwhile, Usyk will gear up against Daniel Dubois in August. He recently shared a photo on Instagram stories showcasing his sparring with two boxers simultaneously. This prompted a response from his longtime rival. Tyson Fury took the opportunity for some online banter of his own.
Fury wasted no time expressing his confidence, suggesting that when he faces Usyk, the Ukrainian fighter will feel like he’s taking on ten opponents at once. Leaving a comment on Usyk’s Instagram post, Fury wrote, “It will feel like there’s 10 fighters in there when I spank you little bum dosser. “
