Tyson Fury, the heavyweight champion, recently unleashed an X-rated rant against his upcoming opponent, Oleksandr Usyk. In a video posted on Instagram, Fury expressed his disdain for Usyk, calling him a “useless piece of s***.” However, this video caused some confusion among fans.
Fury is set to face Usyk in an undisputed title decider on February 17 in Saudi Arabia, with all four heavyweight belts on the line for the first time in history. His promotional team even posted footage of Fury’s arrival in Riyadh on January 1. But just a day later, Fury uploaded a video on Instagram from his home in Britain, leaving fans puzzled about his current location.
In the video, Fury boasted about his training, saying, “Another big day of running in the f*****g mountains. Come on! Easy work. Smashing Usyk’s little rabbit face right in for him.” This statement, combined with Fury’s visible battle scars from his previous fight with Francis Ngannou, further intensified the confusion.
Fans took to social media, questioning Fury’s whereabouts. One fan commented, “I thought you arrived in Saudi Arabia a couple of days ago? That doesn’t look like Saudi Arabia.” Another fan wrote, “I thought he was in Saudi?”
Despite the confusion surrounding his location, Fury remains focused on his training. He posted a picture of his Morecambe boxing gym ahead of a training session, while his training partner, Isaac Lowe, shared a training video from Saudi Arabia. Additionally, Fury’s nutritionist, Greg Marriott, posted a picture from Saudi Arabia, featuring what appears to be Fury in the background.
As the anticipation builds for the highly-anticipated bout between Fury and Usyk, fans are left wondering about the mixed signals from the charismatic champion. But one thing is certain: Fury’s determination and fighting spirit remain unwavering.
