When Oleksandr Usyk last faced Tyson Fury on 18 May 2024, he won the bout via split decision. Now, the two boxers are again set to lock horns later this year on December 21 in a rematch. However, before their upcoming boxing match, they are throwing punches on social media in an unusual fashion.
Initially, Fury updated Usyk about his training route, which was going well, through an Instagram story. However, the previous bout winner, Usyk, also shared a response in a quirky fashion. He called the Brit his “friend” and said,
“Hey my friend, Greedy Belly. Continue training. I’m rest, brother. I know your hard work, it’s good. I appreciate it. Thank you so much, Greedy Belly. You my friend. You are my friend.”
The last time when Fury faced Usyk, the Brit seemed to have control over the Ukrainian. However, after the match was past the middle rounds, Usyk bettered his opponent and eventually won the bout.
