Tyson Fury has hit out at team Usyk after bizarrely being compared to Vladimir Putin.
‘The Gypsy King’ failed in his bid to become the undisputed heavyweight champion when Oleksandr Usyk defeated him in May.
The Brit gets his chance at redemption when he rematches the Ukrainian on December 21st in Saudi Arabia.
In recent times Fury has been pretty inactive on social media by his standards, but in a social media post he hit out at Usyk, his promoter Alex Krassyuk and manager Egis Klimas.

He wrote: “You had your shot but couldn’t finish the job! Mistake!
“Now your about to feel the wrath of a menace! F*** Usyk. F*** Egis Klimas. F*** Alex Krassyuk and if you’re down with Usyk then f*** you too.
“Gypsy King 2024 for coming for you. December 21 is mine. Me against the world. Incoming 3x heavyweight champion.”
Klimas responded: “Sounds like Putin, if you are not with me f*** you, and it means you against me. You pal, f*** you back!!!”
Fury clearly noticed Klimas’ response and seemed bemused by the Putin comparison.
He responded: “I know his team are a little bit upset, they’ve even compared me to Vladimir Putin today. I’m not sure why.
“Because I’ve been rapping Tupac. And Egis… f*** you, f*** your team, f*** Usyk.
“F*** Alex and if you’re down with Usyk, then f*** you too, just like Tupac said.
“I’m in there to smash a motherf***er’s face in. And whatever I’ve got to, I’ll do it. It’s him or me.”
Will it be repeat or revenge in the rematch? Let us know in the comments.
