Tyson Fury called fellow heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk a “14-stone coward” in social media post after talks for an undisputed fight broke down.
A proposed bout at Wembley Stadium on April 29 fell through this week. Usyk had agreed a 70/30 prize money split in Fury’s favor with terms for a rematch the only outstanding issue.
“Tried all week to get out of it, begging for a rematch,” Fury said in an Instagram story on Thursday. “You got your rematch and didn’t want to fight at that. You were never man enough to tangle with the Gypsy King ever in your life.”
“YOU S*ITHOUSE LITTLE COWARD”

“Keep running,” Fury continued. “Fight Dubois at the Copper Box now.”
