OLEKSANDR USYK’S promoter Alex Krassyuk has hit out at Tyson Fury ahead of their upcoming world title showdown.
Usyk and Fury will face off in a highly anticipated bout next year and the trash talk from the Ukranian’s camp has already begun.
The heavyweight pair were supposed to do battle this December, but Fury has postponed the fight following his close run affair with Francis Ngannou last month.
The chopping and changing of the dates has already left Krassyuk frustrated with the promoter launching a scathing attack on The Gypsy King.
Speaking to The Hook podcast, he said: “’In terms of that fight with Tyson Fury, listen, we friendly with hearts full of love called Tyson Fury a random-thought generator.
“So that was one of his random thoughts before the fight and probably the other one after the fight. You cannot match it.’

And he didn’t stop at calling the Brit boxer a “random-thought generator” either.
Krassyuk went on to take aim at Fury’s poor showing against Ngannou with the fight much closer than many boxing fans were expecting.
He said: “Can you imagine [if he lost]? Usyk was sweating throughout the fight because there was a chance for Tyson to lose.
“If he lost, who would watch this fight [Fury vs Usyk]? This [Ngannou] fight didn’t seem to be a big success in the US. A couple of hours ago, I saw the reports from the pay-per-views in the US.

“So this was the fight that did not bring that much attention. But I think it’s going to be completely different when he fights Usyk.
“Usyk has always been confident in what he does. Otherwise, there is no space for him in boxing.
“I mean, he became the undisputed cruiserweight and he went to run for the undisputed heavyweight race.
“And well, that’s where he is now and he has just one belt left.”
Question marks were raised after Fury only just squeezed past Ngannou via a split decision in their fight.
It was the Cameroonian-French fighter’s first go at boxing after making the switch from UFC earlier this year.
