In a social media post, Fury issued a rallying cry and hit out at Usyk, his promoter Alex Krassyuk and manager Egis Klimas.
He wrote: “You had your shot but couldn’t finish the job! Mistake!
“Now your about to feel the wrath of a menace! F*** Usyk. F*** Egis Klimas. F*** Alex Krassyuk and if you’re down with Usyk then f*** you too.
“Gypsy King 2024 for coming for you. December 21 is mine. Me against the world. Incoming 3x heavyweight champion.”
But Klimas responded: “Sounds like Putin, if you are not with me f*** you, and it means you against me. You pal, f*** you back!!!”
Fury caught wind of being compared to Russia’s president, who ordered the invasion of Usyk’s homeland of Ukraine.
And he responded: “I know his team are a little bit upset, they’ve even compared me to Vladimir Putin today. I’m not sure why.
“Because I’ve been rapping Tupac. And Egis – f*** you, f*** your team, f*** Usyk.
“F*** Alex and if you’re down with Usyk, then f*** you too, just like Tupac said.
“I’m in there to smash a motherf***er’s face in. And whatever I’ve got to, I’ll do it. It’s him or me.”
