The two heavyweight champions are set to clash in a historic showdown in Riyadh on February 17th, with the winner being crowned the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era. Fury, known for his colorful personality, left no stone unturned as he verbally attacked Usyk, the WBA, WBO, and IBF champion, during the face-off.
Fury’s taunts were as relentless as his boxing style, labeling Usyk and his team as “dossers” and predicting a knockout victory for himself.

With both champions holding their respective titles and undefeated records, Tyson Fury’s insults and bravado have set the stage for a high-stakes clash that the boxing world eagerly awaits. As February 17th approaches, fight fans can expect not only a battle of fists but also a battle of words, as these two formidable heavyweights vie for undisputed supremacy in the division.
