Fury’s trash talk towards Usyk has been ongoing for several years prior to this announcement.
On Wednesday, the pair came face-to-face to exchange words in person at a press conference.
Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk delivered a speech to express his admiration for his client and his upcoming opponent, stating his man will emerge victorious.
“You’re welcome, you’ll be sharing the ring with a future heavyweight undisputed champion me,” Fury replied, before launching into a rant.
“You are all dossers, he’s getting knocked out and you two are going to be working for me carrying my bag slinks. So remember that, remember I said it on this stage.
“I’m going to bust him, sausage, ugly little man, rabbit.
“Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run!
“You know what’s coming, you’re getting smashed to pieces sausage.

“You beat all the rest of them, but you ain’t beat Tyson Fury yet sausage.
“Look at him, his heart’s pounding now, he’s like a little p***y with an earring in, s***house.”
Usyk remained quiet for the majority of Fury’s shouting and summed up his thoughts at the press conference succinctly, saying: “I will speak in the ring.”
Fury then proceeded to press his head against Usyk’s head during the face-off in another attempt to intimidate him.
After the presser, Usyk was asked by Sky if Fury is getting in his head with his aggressive trash talk
“I’m already in his head,” Usyk replied.
“I’m singing and dancing there in his head.”
