Oleksandr Usyk had a controversial win over Daniel Dubois in Poland. Dubois’ body shot landed below the belt line, but Usyk wore the shorts on his belt line. This prompted WBC champion Tyson Fury to mock Oleksandr Usyk on social media. Fury consistently implements mind games on his opponents.

Tyson Fury mocked Usyk and wrote, “#softbelly” to insinuate the controversy in the last fight. Fury and Usyk have gone back and forth for months. Their bout negotiations fell apart due to the rumored unreasonable demand from both sides. Nevertheless, if they both keep winning, they will have no option but to fight each other.

Fury and Oleksandr Usyk’s fight would become the biggest one in modern heavyweight history. Both are undefeated boxers with amazing technical ability. The battle between them would ultimately result in a fighter losing their undefeated status. Fury has fought some of the best heavyweights of his time. On the other hand, Usyk dominated the cruiserweight division for years before moving up to the heavyweight division.

Usyk disposed of Anthony Joshua in two bouts. He also has a win over Derek Chisora. The Ukrainian champion needs to win the WBC title to become the world’s undisputed heavyweight champion. On the other hand, Fury emerged victorious in a trilogy against Deontay Wilder. He knocked out Dillian Whyte in a spectacular fashion and needs the title held by Usyk to become the undisputed champion.
