Tyson Fury has reignited his rivalry with Oleksandr Usyk as they prepare to meet in a sequel.
The ‘Gypsy King’ lost to Usyk in their undisputed title clash in May, but will have the chance to get immediate revenge on December 21.

Fury has already upped the ante on social media going back and forth with his previous conqueror as he vows to turn the tables.
And today, he has once again launched an X-rated assault on Usyk, posting a picture from their previous meeting on Instagram, with the caption: “You are about a half [sic] feel the wrath of the Gypsy King.
“Should of finished me when you had the chance.”
He later added: “You had your shot but couldn’t finish the job! Mistake!
“Now your about to feel the wrath of a menace! F*** Usyk. F*** Egis Klimas. F*** Alex Krassyuk and if you’re down with Usyk then f*** you too.
“Gypsy King 2024 for coming for you. December 21 is mine. Me against the world. Incoming 3x heavyweight champion.”
Usyk has now issued a response to his rival, writing on his post: “You are very cool my friend.”
The two-weight undisputed champion came so close to stopping the contest in the ninth round, knocking Fury down in a ferocious barrage.
He crashed into the ropes but managed to survive the bell until the end of the round, and was forced to cling on until the judges’ scorecards.
Usyk did win by split decision, but came so close to a stoppage, despite Fury insisting he did enough to have got the nod.

This is likely to once again spark some heated exchanges between the pair, which dominated the build-up to the maiden meeting.
Fury has posted footage of himself in the gym, but has not yet began a full training camp.
He has the chance to make history and join an elite club of three time heavyweight champions, but Usyk will fancy his chances.
‘The Cat’ will take some serious beating, and the 35-year-old has sparked concern by admitting he hasn’t yet entered a full training camp.
“I haven’t started training yet,” Fury said. I won’t go into camp for a good while.
“I think I’ve got 13 weeks today until my fight. So, I’ll probably start training in about six weeks for it.
“I do about six/seven weeks of training for these fights usually and I’ll be ready to rock and roll on the night. Roll on December 21, come on!
“It’s very simple. I’ve just got to knock a motherf****r out, and I’ve made no secret of it.
“I think I out-boxed him last time and I’m sure I got the decision, but I’m not going in there for a decision this time.
“I remember I boxed really well in Wilder 1, and I didn’t get the decision.
“I did the same the other night when I boxed three or four months ago.
“In the Wilder 2, I went to knock a motherf***** out, and we all know what happened. In Usyk 2, I’m going to knock a motherf***** out!”
