Tyson Fury has insulted Oleksandr Usyk by claiming he could still beat him if he weighed 25kg and drank 15 pints of Peroni beforehand.
The Gypsy King will face Usyk on May 18 in Riyadh in his bid to become the undisputed world heavyweight champion.
Although the Ukrainian holds the WBA, WBO and IBF titles, Fury does not rate him as highly and believes he has lost his shine.
Fury gloated: “I think if I didn’t train at all for this camp, just turned up 25 kilos and drank maybe 15 pints of Peroni beforehand, and then the next day going there, what’s he going to do? Even you bother me?
Let’s not take anything away from him, but he couldn’t do anything with Derek Chisora.
Tyson Fury claimed he could still beat Oleksandr Usyk if he weighed 25kg and drank 15 pints of Peroni.
They will meet on May 18 in Riyadh after Fury’s eye injury delayed him from February.
‘We all saw that fight and let’s not be fooled, it was a 50-50 fight, it could have gone either way!
“So no, unless you’ve reached 38, 39 in the last two years by leaps and bounds.” Is this guy going to kill me in one round? I do not think.
‘If I’m going to enjoy a real ding-dong, I’ll need at least 15 pints of Peroni. At least!’
Fury has undergone a massive transformation while training for the titanic fight.
His strength and conditioning coach Kristian Blacklock said Fury was in the best shape of his life ahead of the Usyk fight, stating he was “stronger and leaner” than ever.
Fury shared his body transformation online after the postponement was announced, posting a photo of himself standing in front of the mirror during his camp in Saudi Arabia.
The Gypsy King looked considerably thinner than when he fought former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in October 2023.
Fury, who told Mail Sport he would always be fat during an interview before the fight with Francis Ngannou last year, could be seen sporting abs as he tensed up in the mirror selfie.
Fury shared his phenomenal body transformation on social media after his undisputed title clash with Oleksandr Usyk was postponed.
Fury and his team took to social media after the postponement was announced to say they were devastated by the work they had done behind the scenes.
His showdown with Usyk was scheduled for February 17 in Riyadh, but was postponed after Fury suffered an injury during camp.
He suffered a severe cut above his right eye on Friday while training, which has been labeled by his promotion team as a “strange cut.”
