Oleksandr Usyk, the reigning WBA, WBO, IBF, and Ring Magazine heavyweight champion, has fired a clear warning shot at Tyson Fury ahead of their much-anticipated bout on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The tension escalated during their recent face-off at the OVO Arena Wembley press conference, where Fury unleashed a barrage of taunts and threats, aiming to unsettle Usyk. Fury, known for his flamboyant antics, engaged in verbal warfare, calling out Usyk and vowing to strip him of the belts he holds. Despite Fury's aggressive verbal assault, Usyk remained composed, smiling through the onslaught of insults. However, Usyk drew a line when Fury crossed it physically, prompting Usyk to issue a stern warning: "Don't touch me, please. We speak in the ring." Reflecting on the heated exchange, Usyk acknowledged Fury's mastery in the art of press conferences but emphasized the importance of maintaining boundaries. While Usyk respects Fury and his team, he made it clear that physical contact is off-limits outside the ring, stating that while press conferences are a show, pushing boundaries won't keep him relaxed. Both fighters are heading into this clash with their own narratives. Fury seeks redemption after an underwhelming performance against Francis Ngannou, while Usyk faced controversy in his last bout against Daniel Dubois, where accusations of milking a low blow stirred debate despite his eventual victory. With tensions brewing and verbal salvos exchanged, the anticipation for this clash continues to grow. The showdown between two heavyweight titans promises fireworks in the ring, leaving fans eager to witness the culmination of this heated rivalry on February 17.
