Watch Oleksandr Usyk’s chilling warning to Tyson Fury ahead of rescheduled fight and goads ‘don’t be afraid’

OLEKSANDR USYK has delivered a chilling warning to Tyson Fury ahead of their rescheduled fight.

The Ukrainian and the Gypsy King were finally set to clash in a MASSIVE unification fight on February 17 in Saudi Arabia.

But boxing fans were left devastated last week when the eagerly-anticipated showdown was postponed.

The bout was called off after Fury suffered a freak cut in sparring just two weeks before fight night.

It has now been rescheduled for May 18 with the WBC champion currently back home in Morecambe with his family.

Meanwhile, Usyk responded to that disappointing cancellation news by continuing with his training camp in his quest to gain all four titles.

And when asked by  if he had a message for Fury, Usyk said: “Tyson, hi my brother.

“Don't be afraid. I will not leave you alone.”

Usyk, who beat Anthony Joshua for his world titles prior to retaining them against AJ and then Daniel Dubois, revealed this week that he has missed the birth of his fourth child while training in Spain prior to the fight postponement.

And with a potential £8million penalty on the line, Usyk said: “I'm not judging anyone. But the thing is we have to treat this more seriously, this is very important and we have to be cautious.

“We have to treat this professionally. We have to spend every minute in the ring with the intention of having respect for our opponent.

“To judge someone for his mistakes is a weakness. I feel very well and even if someone is trying to play me they are playing by my rules.

“I sacrificed all the dates I wanted to spend with my family, Christmas, New Year, the birthday of my second son and the birth of my daughter.

“I should have been around my wife.”
