Tyson Fury calls out Oleksandr Usyk for blockbuster world heavyweight fight

Tyson Fury and Simon Jordan became embroiled in a war of words after the heavyweight champion called him a “little b****”.

WBC champion Fury has been holding extensive talks over an undisputed title clash with Oleksandr Usyk since the turn of the year, with both teams hoping an agreement can be reached for a fight on April 29 at Wembley Stadium. It appeared the fight had taken a significant blow this week after Fury proposed a 70/30 purse split, but Usyk called his bluff and accepted.

However in a fresh obstacle, Fury has demanded there be no rematch clause for either fighter after their meeting for all the marbles, which cast new doubt over an agreement being reached. Radio host Jordan went on air with talkSPORT to criticise Fury’s approach on social media, suggesting: “I don’t know what the purpose of this [latest demand] is. I’m sure Frank [Warren] is sitting there pulling his hair out.”

Fury has since angrily hit out at Jordan during a heated rant at both the radio host and his potential rival Usyk on an Instagram video, during which he said: “I can’t wait, I’m in the best shape of my life, I’m fucking ready to rock and troll, I wish it was this weekend. Usyk you gappy-teeth, ugly, bug-eyed, rabbit, cat, ugly piece of s***, you are getting knocked the f*** out.

“And to all the haters out there a massive f*** you because I’m getting 70% of the undisputed heavyweight championship. Simon Jordan you’re a little b****, no wonder you lost £100 million b****, wrong business you little sausage. “Cruiserweights are getting smashed, I’m a f***ing monster, cruiserweights are getting demolished.”

Despite tagging Britains Got Talent host Simon Cowell by mistake, Jordan received the message and reacted to it during his normal slot on the talkSPORT schedule. He said: “He’s a wally, isn’t he? Never mind ‘Gypsy King’, he’s the gormless king, he tagged Simon Cowell, he’s feeble-minded sometimes. Tyson – you walk around, you’re a walking contradiction, you never pay your bets, you never say what you’re gonna do.

“But most of the time what we say is, ‘You are the best heavyweight in the world.’ But here’s a little bit of criticism and off you go on one of your demented little rants with your little bag carriers in the background. Oh get over it, get on with the fight. “Where his observations are right are, ‘I held out and got 70/30,’ and he’s right to say it.”

Fury has previously been on good terms with Jordan having been quizzed by the host on his new rival’s show, but it appears relations have now soured. Jordan has become a regular critic of a number of figures in the sport including boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, with whom he also shares a rivalry.
