Fury and Usyk ended up butting heads and had to be separated before any premature blows were thrown.
And The Gypsy King felt like he had scared his opposite by planting his forehead on the Ukrainian.
He said: “I think he’s scared to death. He’s rattled. His balls are twitching now, boys. His a***hole is flapping.”
