The 35-year-old Gypsy King, who was floored by UFC star Francis Ngannou last time out in his controversial crossover bout victory, has already been stoking the flames ahead of the showdown.
He and Usyk went nose-to-nose at the fight announcement press conference, where the Brit tried barging the Ukrainian head first at the face-off.
And Fury has also consistently attempted to insult his 36-year-old rival by calling him “rabbit”.
However, that term seems to be one that has now been embraced by Usyk.
The star told Sky Sports: “I got into his head and now instead of me, he thinks about a rabbit. Keep thinking, brother.
“I have listened to Eminem for many years, his mum used to call him a white rabbit.
“I don’t know, I like this rapper.
“Tony Bellew once said that I am a beast in boxing, I said: ‘Not really, I’m just a white rabbit.’
