Tyson Fury trolled almost every single one of his rivals with his Christmas message on social media.
The WBC heavyweight champion shared a family snap of him posing with his children in front of the Christmas tree, featuring the faces of his boxing adversaries.
Anthony Joshua is front and centre along with David Haye, who Fury was scheduled to fight twice in 2013 and 2014 only for it to fall through on both occasions.
Wladimir Klitschko, who ‘They Gypsy King’ beat in 2015 as he was crowned a world champion for the first time, also features, alongside Deontay Wilder who was knocked out twice by Fury in recent years.
Finally, Dillian Whyte, who Fury floored in front of 90,000 at Wembley in April, is included, being held by the undefeated champion himself in the seasonal snap.
Absent from the image is IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight champion Usyk, who is in talks to fight Fury in 2023.
He and the undefeated Ukrainian came face to face following the former’s dominant victory over Dereck Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in December, with their fight to crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis set to take place early next year.
‘The two fighters have agreed to fight each other next,’ Bob Arum, Fury’s co-promoter, told Sky Sports earlier this month.
‘With Fury and Usyk we’re dealing with two adults, not a lot of [rubbish] back and forth.
‘Usyk is a good friend of mine, he’s very intelligent and Tyson is Superman, both as an athlete and as an intellect,” he continued.
‘So they want the fight. Both of them want the fight and so there’ll be very little, if any, [messing] around.
‘So we’ll be able to make that happen. I’m very, very confident. As I said the fighters have both agreed to fight each other next without any interim fights.’
