Tyson Fury calls into talkSPORT and Simon Jordan takes him to task over Oleksandr Usyk fight in expletive-laden and brilliant interview

Tyson Fury proved he isn't one to back down from a huge heavyweight showdown, calling into talkSPORT's White and Jordan show - and what followed was radio gold.

You can watch the chaotic exchange as Fury revealed that he has set a deadline of one week for his team to come up with a sum of £500million to fight Oleksandr Usyk.

Simon Jordan, however, was not interested in all the talk about money and instead wanted to talk about the boxing, as a fight between Fury and Usyk would see the first undisputed heavyweight champion crowned in the four belt era.

But Fury would not move past the financials, saying, "This fight is purely about money... Mayweather got £400million for Pacquiao and I want £500million for Usyk."

'The Gypsy King' went on to claim he has no interest in Usyk, referring to him as 'a blown up middleweight'.

Jordan responded, insisting that, for Fury to prove himself as the best fighter of this generation, he has to beat Usyk. But the WBC heavyweight champion disputed this claim and said that the Ukrainian is new to the division and not even a real heavyweight.

Once again, Jordan took issue with Fury calling Usyk a middleweight, before 'The Gypsy King' jumped back inand said: "Let me explain myself because I'm quite good at it actually, I'm quite articulate at the matter."

Jordan acknowledge Fury's skills as an orator and 'The Gypsy King' went on the explain that when he was British heavyweight champion, Usyk was fighting at middleweight in the amateurs, adding, 'I don't rate him' and 'I could beat Usyk with a weeks training', before returning to the issue of money.

This was when Jordan seemed to become fed up with Fury's rhetoric, as he said,: "No one wants to hear about that Tyson, because you're going to get the money...

"No one's interested in bankrolling you, we're interested in the best fighter beating somebody."

Jordan then clarified that Fury will take this fight with Usyk if the money is right regardless of his September 1 deadline, to which 'The Gypsy King' said: "Yep, one hundred per cent."

Although when asked if he had respect for Usyk and his fighting style, Fury said: "I've seen more excitement in Morecambe on a Friday night."

To which Jordan replied: "I'm not surprised if you're hanging about there."

To finish, despite the chaotic nature of the interview, Fury expressed his appreciation for Jordan's willingness to tell the truth.

He said: "Simon speaks the truth and if people don't like it, they can't handle the truth and not a lot of people can, but the man speaks the truth.

"The truth and nothing but the truth. I'm sure if I had a s*** fight, Simon would be man enough to say, 'that was a s*** fight', end of."
