Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are set to go head-to-head for a second time in December this year
Heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk remained tight-lipped after receiving a message from his rival Tyson Fury .
The pivotal moment in their initial bout came in the ninth round, where Usyk landed several powerful blows that nearly knocked Fury out. The Brit was left visibly shaken and was saved by the bell, leading many to believe the fight should have been stopped.READ MORE: Tyson Fury takes swipe at Anthony Joshua after Daniel Dubois knockout
Following the main event, footage surfaced of 'The Gyspsy King' commending Usyk for his "boxing lesson'' to both Joshua and Dubois. Despite the former heavyweight champion coming across as polite during his encounter with the Ukrainian, it appears the 36-year-old has now ramped up the trash talk ahead of the rematch.
While many would retaliate, Usyk responded swiftly to Fury's post. However, instead of exchanging insults, the Ukrainian was very respectful and found humour in his message.
