Notably, an excerpt of the conversation between Fury and Usyk was “leaked” out and appeared on social network “attacked” Usyk when he mocked the fact that the 37-year-old Ukrainian puncher wore earrings.

“I know he (Usyk) can’t beat me. He can’t do it. A guy with an earring will never beat Tyson Fury. Any guy with an earring will do. Usyk is just “A decent puncher in Ukraine. But if you know where I come from, you’ll understand that he’s just a bad guy with an earring,” Fury replied.

This is not the first time Tyson Fury has used “psychological warfare” against Usyk. At the press conference to introduce the Ring of Fire event with the focus on the historic boxing heavyweight title unification match more than a month ago, Fury also repeatedly attacked Usyk and called his opponent a “shy rabbit.” “.

And this time, just like before, Usyk continued to maintain his composure and amazing coolness when responding slowly instead of going tit for tat with Fury.

“I can explain about the earring. It is a sign of a Ukrainian warrior, specifically the Cossack people. They are warriors who have protected my country for hundreds of years against enemy invasion. I wear earrings to respect and honor them,” Usyk slowly responded.

Fury once used a “war of words” attack and butted his forehead into Usyk’s face at the press conference introducing the Ring of Fire event.

Remember, in the Usyk – Anthony Joshua 2 match, which the Ukrainian puncher continued to win, he had a bald head with a small lock of hair tied in the middle of his head, which is also a typical symbol of the fight. Cossack soldiers.

Meanwhile, immediately after the video recording of the interview between Usyk and Fury mentioned above was revealed, many fans were shocked by the way Fury “attacked and insulted” his opponent. Some accounts even found a photo of Fury also… wearing earrings and posted it to mock the 36-year-old British boxer.

The Fury – Usyk match will take place on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This rich country in West Asia is also the place to record sweet memories for Usyk when he defeated Anthony Joshua in a rematch in August 2022, thereby continuing to hold the 4 belts WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF.
