Usyk got the better of Fury when they met in Riyadh in May, winning via split decision.
And it appears there is no love lost between the fighters as the Gypsy King sent a rude message to his opponent when they appeared in front of the press in London.
Fury, 36, wore a custom-made suit that featured hundreds of small hands showing a middle finger.
After the press conference Fury took to social media where he showed off some snaps of his suit, including a close up which highlighted the many middle fingers.

"See you in the Kingdom Agent 47 Usyk because you're the one that's going to get Hitman."
Usyk, 37, dressed as the character Agent 47 from the famous video game series Hitman, sporting a bald head and a red tie.
He shared a touching moment with Fury as the pair signed a photo from their first fight which Usyk plans to sell to raise funds for Ukrainian soldiers fighting on the frontline.

"What’s going through my mind? I’m just looking forward to a fantastic fight. Last time in May it was a fantastic fight.
"Oleksandr won the fight fair and square. [I’m] just looking to put on a great fight again. It was very close last time; he got it by a point.
"A little bit more focus, a little bit more lack of complacency and I should do the job I need to do.
"Nothing drastic has to change. A bit more of the same. A bit more focus, like I say, and I will be victorious.
"I believe it will be my time next time and I believe all things that happen, negative or positive, are lessons.
