Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk exchanged playful insults on a surprise video call set up by Turki Alashikh.
The heavyweight titans are scheduled to rematch on December 21 after Usyk handed Fury the first defeat of his professional career in May.

Both men recently touched down in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the historic clash that will see them battle it out for three of the four major world titles.
For Fury and Usyk, their training camps are now over and they will use the remaining time ahead of fight night to keep themselves ticking over while also ensuring that they get enough rest to fully replenish their bodies.
While enjoying some downtime as fight week nears, Fury received a video call from the Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, Alalshikh.
“Hello, brother… You are ready? You owe me one rabbit,” said Alalshikh in reference to Usyk.
“One rabbit, coming up. Cooked rabbit, one rabbit in the pot,” Fury laughed.
Alalshikh then added Usyk to the video call and didn’t make any attempt to hide his true feelings.
“Hello freak!,” shouted Alalshikh as the Ukrainian popped up on the screen.
“We are ready for you, there is space in our kitchen for one rabbit more.
“You are destroying my map, I want the third fight, I want the trilogy.”
Fury then chimed in: “When I beat him on the 21st there will be a third fight one hundred per cent, there has to be a trilogy.”
Usyk interrupted: “We will see… Don’t be afraid, I will not leave you alone again.”
“I am very afraid,” quipped Fury. “Ugly little man. I’m going to get that on because we need that trilogy back in Saudi.”
Usyk, as unphased as ever, then sat there smiling as Alalshikh made a case for Fury.
“Tyson, finish the job, finish this freak guy,” he said. “No way [you win again].
“He had a lot of mistakes in the first fight, now he knows his mistake.
“Now, it will be hard. No dancing anymore. You are wasting time shooting a movie with The Rock and dancing.”
Usyk replied: “Hey my friend I am not resting. After the fight I go to my gym, I’m training, I am preparing every time.”
Ultimately, talk is cheap. The true measure of both men will become apparent when they collide again next Saturday.
