Tyson Fury took to Instagram to insult his next opponent and his critics
Tyson Fury has added more fuel to the fire regarding his fight with Oleksandr Usyk by posting a new video that calls out, well… everyone.
WBC title holder Tyson Fury and WBA, IBF and WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk have been attempting to negotiate a fight since the start of the year, but disagreements about money have proved a sticking point.
A breakthrough looked to have been reached last week when Usyk accepted Fury’s proposal of a 70:30 split, only for Fury to then demand that neither boxer has a rematch clause put in their fight contract.
Usyk appeared to be losing patience when he responded, telling Fury to “stop whining and ducking, be a man. Ink the contact or vacate the belt.”
Other figures in the world of boxing and sports media have criticised Fury’s latest demand, including talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan.

When discussing the issue with Jim White last week, Jordan said live on air: “If he doesn’t take this fight, Fury, he should be ashamed of himself.
“We’ve had to listen to a lot of nonsense! We give a lot of praise to him, he constantly gets the good word, and this isn’t good enough!”
Now Fury has hit back at both Usyk, Jordan and just about everyone with a sensational new Instagram video. He even accidentally tagged Simon Cowell.
“I can’t wait, I’m in the best shape of my life, I’m fucking ready to rock and roll, I wish it was this weekend,” Fury yelled.
“Usyk you gappy-teeth, ugly, bug-eyed, rabbit, cat, ugly piece of s***, you are getting knocked the f*** out.”
The Gypsy King then took aim at his critics, including Jordan.
“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.”
It’s fair to say that Jordan was not impressed with Fury’s latest rant.
“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,” the radio presenter said on Tuesday.
“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.”
Fury and Usyk are due to face-off at Wembley Stadium on 29th April.
