The victor of their Riyadh rumble will be crowned the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era and the first in over 25 years.

Fury and Usyk, 35 and 37 respectively, have had three fiery face-offs in the last 13 months – the most recent of which took place in London.

And the eagerly-anticipated sitdown face-off they took part in after their last presser last November has prematurely made its way online.

The pair took part in a lengthy chat with TNT Sportsboxing expert Steve Bunce, where they fielded questions on their long-overdue unification clash.

Tensions, understandably, were high between the pair – who have been on a collision course for the best part of two years.

And footage circulating online shows Fury attempt to land a verbal jab during their sitdown by mocking Usyk for wearing an earring.

The WBC heavyweight king said: “I know he can’t beat me, I know he can’t.

“A man who wears an earring can never beat Tyson Fury, ever.

“Not a chance, no-one who wears earrings can beat him.”

Usyk was cool as a cucumber as Fury took aim at his donning of an earring, which is a to homage to his warrior heritage.

He said: “I can explain about the earrings. It’s Ukrainian warrior, Cossack.

“They were the people who defended my country from our enemies for many years.

“This is just the proof of my Cossack lineage – they never lost to anybody.

“There is no beauty or fashion in this.”

Fury was respectful of the fact that Usyk’s earring was an ode to Ukraine‘s ancient Cossack warriors.

But he was adamant it makes the former undisputed cruiserweight champ a lesser man in his eyes.

He said: “Listen in Ukraine it means he’s a good fighting man, for him.

“But where I’m from it means he’s a p***y with an earring in.”

Fury will bid to become the undisputed ruler of the heavyweights on the back of a lacklustre display against boxing novice Francis Ngannou, who dropped him in their controversial crossover clash last October.

And he’s refusing to underestimate the challenge Usyk brings to the table the same way he did the UFC‘s former heavyweight champion.

He said: “It’s going to be one of the fights for the ages.

“I believe we are both destined to be here and to be in this big fight in Saudi Arabia.

“And there’s only one winner, and I am destined to become the undisputed champion.

“More than that, I am destined to cement my legacy as the No. 1 fighter in this era.

“To do that I have to beat this little man and that’s it, simple as.

“Easier said than done I understand, he’s a tricky man, good boxer, slick.

“But I have seen many people like him before and when they fight the big men they struggle.

“He’s going to struggle on February 17 and he’s going to lose, I will break him for sure.”
