Tyson Fury has hit out at rival Oleksandr Usyk and talkSPORT presenter Simon Jordan as negotiations over a blockbuster heavyweight unification fight rumble on. But he also appeared to accidentally tag TV star Simon Cowell in his Instagram story.
Official confirmation of a bout between Fury and Usyk appeared to be close after Usyk agreed to Fury’s demands for a 70-30 purse split. However, Fury responded with a fresh demand on Monday, calling for there to be no rematch clause.
This prompted Usyk to accuse Fury of “ducking” him, while Jordan questioned “the purpose” of Fury’s latest demand. The Gypsy King has now hit back at both Usyk and Jordan, vowing to knock out the Ukrainian and branding Jordan a “little b****”.
“I can’t wait,” screamed Fury in a video posted on his Instagram story. “I’m in the best shape of my life, I’m f***ing ready to rock and roll.

“I wish it was this weekend. Usyk you gappy-teethed, ugly, bug-eyed, rabbit, cat, ugly piece of s*** you are getting knocked the f*** out.
“And for all the haters out there as well a massive f*** you ’cause they got 70 per cent of the undisputed heavyweight championship. Simon Jordan you’re a little b****.
“No wonder you lost £100m b****, wrong business you little sausage.” At this point in his rant, Fury turned the camera to fellow heavyweight fighter Joseph Parker, adding: “Joe Parker, we cannot wait”.
To which Parker replied: “Can’t wait”. Fury then continued: “Cruiserweights are getting smashed, Kristian [I’m the] strongest I’ve ever been.”
Fury then turned the camera to his personal trainer Kristian Blacklock, who screamed “He’s a monster” before the Gypsy King concluded the video by yelling “I’m a monster. Cruiserweights are getting demolished.”
Eyebrows were raised, however, when fans noticed that X Factor creator Cowell was tagged in the story rather than Jordan, with many finding the mix-up amusing.
