Fans have been longing for the fight to take place and it will do so in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh in three months time.
Usyk and Fury both attended their press conference to kickstart the countdown towards one of the biggest fights in boxing history.
It saw the latter launch an expletive rant at the former, in which he called the Ukrainian a 'f****** p***y' as tensions rose.
However, Usyk does not at all seem fazed by the Gypsy King's feisty tirade and was quick to dismiss his fighting talk.
When asked if he listens to what Fury says, he replied: "No.
"For me, it's a lot of speak like a talking hat. Blah blah blah blah blah blah."
Asked by Fabio Wardley why Fury acts like he does, Usyk stated: "The man behaves like that when he is afraid and doesn't feel comfortable or when he isn't sure about anything."
After their press conference, the two unbeaten giants took part in a heated face-off and they had to be pulled apart from each other.

Fury will put his WBC belt on the line in February, with Usyk doing the same with his WBA, IBF and WBO titles.
The fight will determine the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999 when Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield.
Following months of negotiations and trash talk between the two parties, the contracts were finally signed in September.
December 23 was expected to be the date of the clash but this is now when Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder fight on the same card.
Such a change comes as a result of Fury's tougher-than-expected win in October over Francis Ngannou, who was making his boxing debut.
The 'Gypsy King' was knocked down in round three and hurt in round eight before a controversial split decision confirmed his victory.
Usyk and Fury faced-off in the ring afterwards, with all four world titles on the line in their undisputed heavyweight showcase event.
