Oleksandr Usyk took to Instagram to mock Tyson Fury
Usyk and Fury are on a collision course
History is set to be made, with all four heavyweight belts having never been on the line in the same fight.
As negotiations rumble on behind the scenes, a petty war of words has already broken out between the two fighters.
Usyk, 36, has been referring to Fury as “belly” – recently asking: “Where are you?”
Fury quickly responded, saying: “Usyk, calling out the Gypsy King with your pathetic little callouts, dosser.
“Rabbit, I’m coming for you rabbit. You’re getting it rabbit. And I’ll tell you what else, I’m going to bust you up real bad you little middleweight.
“I’m going to slap you into a big pile of tattoos, sucker.”
In his latest taunt, Usyk shared a picture of himself swinging an AXE at a tree stump.
The WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champ labelled the stump with Fury’s twitter handle.
He added: “The rabbit is coming for you. Belly.”
The fight is expected to take place in Saudi Arabia, with the Middle Eastern country set to offer a huge sum to host.
But the fight could be moved to London if the Saudis don’t stump up the asking price.
Fury’s US promoter Bob Arum told BoxingScene: “Everybody agreed that if [Saudi Arabia’s] offer comes through and it’s real, that’s how we’ll go.
“If not, we’ll do the fight at Wembley.”
Usyk and Fury stared each other down in December at Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
“The Cat” had been watching on as Fury eased past Derek Chisora in their trilogy bout.
The belts are set to be unified later this year

Guard Techniques
Boxers protect themselves by protecting their bodies. He does this by using his legs.
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 his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Because they inflict pain, elbow strikes can be very effective. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. Boxers use their hands to stop incoming punches. They raise their fists up above their heads and move towards the 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. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.
Feet
