OLEKSANDR USYK has taunted rival Tyson Fury after he uploaded a picture of himself post-swim.
The Ukrainian showed off his trimmed physique on social media, while poking fun at the Gypsy King’s stomach.
He posted a picture of himself on Twitter in some tiny swimming trunks at a pool and captioned the image, “The Middleweight is here! Where are you Belly?”
The 35-year-old then tagged his boxing rival in the post after insinuating the Brit was overweight.
Fans of the boxer loved the smack talk, as one commented: “I love how he just trolls Tyson.”
A second wrote: “He’s going to be burning all that fat around his hips, trying to land a clean punch against you.”

A third said: “Fury going to get a boxing lesson from Usyk.”
A fourth added: “You will school Fury, Oleksandr. Light work.”
The comment is a response to Fury’s regular jabs about him being a middleweight and taking the mick out of his size.
Fury has called Usyk a “blown-up middleweight” and a “little b****” in the past.

The pair have been given a clear path for their much-anticipated clash after the IBF stepped down on their insistence for Usyk to fight Filip Hrgovic.
They stepped down and agreed that the the WBA mandatory, Daniel Dubois, is ahead of him in the pecking order.
However, the British boxer is managed by Frank Warren, who is also the manager of Fury.
This means that there will be less pressure to make Usyk’s next fight against Dubois.
Therefore it is more likely that a clash between the Ukrainian and Fury will happen sooner.
