Fury has regularly criticised the champion as their rivalry appeared to get personal, including mocking him for his size as well as branding his fellow champion a 'rabbit'.
He has since altered his stance, but Usyk did not let them lie.
During in October 2023 with negotiations over a fight rumbling on, he began to jokingly burble in a British accent, before shouting: "Rabbit, b***h, light heavyweight, middleweight."
Usyk also added: "Tyson Fury he is a good family man, but if you switch on the TV or a camera, it's a change. Like an alien you, know?"

Another agreed: "I laughed a lot when he said light-heavyweight. This is so accurate."
One remarked: "When you go on camera and you're performing you have to be an entertainer he understands that.
"But when it's not time to be entertainer he understands that, too."

Fury got himself embroiled in a more heated argument with Usyk during their initial face-off at a press conference.
The WBC champion has been known to pull comical stunts against his opponent, including using crutches during the early stages of fight week.
Despite previously firing regular insults at the way of Usyk, he has since admitted a level of respect insisting it was his toughest opponent yet.
"I think he’s the best opponent I’ve ever faced,” Fury told .
“Because I’ve fought world heavyweight champions before, fought undefeated people before. I fought an Olympic gold medallist before, but I’ve never fought a two-weight world champion.
“So, I think that puts him on top of it all.”
