OLEKSANDR USYK has taken to his SWIMMING POOL to continue his trolling of Tyson Fury.
The undefeated Ukrainian is on the brink of finalising a historic undisputed heavyweight showdown with the Gypsy King.

All that remains is for the venue for the mouthwatering clash to be finalised, although that hasn’t stopped Usyk from repeatedly trolling Fury on social media.
The former undisputed cruiserweight champion posted a video of himself running in a pool and tapping his belly as he said: “Hey, belly, I’m coming for you.”
Pound-for-pound king Usyk has repeatedly mocked Fury over his midsection since their heated face-off last December.
But the WBC king has lapped up the tummy taunts, saying: “I am the belly and big bellies eat rabbits.
“That’s what I’m going to do, eat him up. Let’s get the fight on first.
“There’s no good talking smack when the fight isn’t even happening yet.
“When the fight gets done and we get it all done with a date and venue, then it’s on.”
The biggest heavyweight fight in the last 25 years is on course to take place in Saudi Arabia on April 29, although Wembley is still in with an outside chance of hosting the bout.

But Fury claims to be in the dark over the location of the potentially career-defining fight.
The Gypsy King told Sky Sports: “We are just waiting on an announcement really.
“I’m in limbo like the rest of the world, I just want to fight.
“I’m not interested in who, what, where or when, I just want to fight.
“That’s it. If I’m not going to fight, then tell me, so I can just walk away and do something else.”

Usyk recently slammed Fury over his financial demands for the unification bout, writing on social media: “Fury, you talk about greatness in boxing.
“But, at the same time, you say, ‘Give me a lot of money’.
“Greatness in boxing is not determined by money. Greatness comes from a victorious path.
“You say that I avoid you, but I never have. In fact, I have even come to you.
“I am ready to box you even without any prize money.”

Here are the Essential Skills of Boxing
How to box effectively
Boxing is the most loved sport in the world. It involves two people who attempt to knock each other out of their heads. There are different rules for boxing, and they vary from one country to the next. There are three main types of boxing: Amateur boxing, Professional boxing, and Olympic boxing.
Amateur boxing may be done at school, college, and university. This type of boxing includes sparring sessions with padded gloves and without any protection. Amateur boxing matches usually consist of three rounds lasting five minutes each. There are many styles of amateur boxing such as Kickboxing or Muay Thai, Taekwondo and Karate, Judo and Wrestling, among others.
Most professional boxing takes place in gyms, clubs, and stadiums. They wear protective equipment such as mouthpiece, nose guard, shin guards, elbow pads, knee pads, waist belt and groin protector. Professional boxing competitions include six rounds of four minutes each. There are many styles of professional boxing: Boxing, MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), Kickboxing and Muay Thai.
Olympic boxing takes place at the Olympics. Special protective gear must be worn by boxers to ensure compliance with international standards. The competition lasts approximately three minutes for each round. Olympic boxing is limited to two styles: Light Flyweight and Heavyweight.
The basics of boxing are:
- Punching techniques
- Guarding techniques
- Footwork
- Stance
- Moving your body
- Defense
- Combination
- Rotation
- Spares
Punching Techniques
There are seven types: Left Hook (right hook), Right Hook (uppercut), Cross (cross), Straight, Overhand, Underhand. Each punch is unique. Some punches require more strength than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.
There are many combinations of punches. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. One combination can have many parts. A combination may include multiple parts. For example, damage to the jaw of an opponent can be caused by a left hook and a right cross.
Guard Techniques
Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly means you hit your opponent directly with your forearm. While indirectly, it means you hit him with another section of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. They then touch the attackers fist.
Knees
Boxers who are subject to a punch to their stomachs, abdomens, or chests should bend at the knees to absorb the impact. A lot of boxers use knee strikes to defend themselves.
Feet
When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. He can then gain distance from his opponent. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
In order to box effectively, a boxer needs to establish a stance. His stance determines how he defends himself. It is how he positions himself and where he faces the opponent. There are many positions that boxers can adopt. These are some of our most favorite:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
The Body Movement
A boxer must change his position, speed and rhythm in order to win the fight. This requires changing your position, speed, and rhythm.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. Depending on what punch is being thrown, the speed of rotation varies.
Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.
Spare parts
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. Boxers learn to train their mind and bodies during sparring sessions. The purpose of sparring is, in short, to learn how fight and not get hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
