THIERRY HENRY had a hilarious reaction after being called out by boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk rematches Tyson Fury on Saturday in Saudi Arabia following his points victory in May.
The fight will be available on Sky Sports Box Office and an interview with Usyk played during Monday Night Football.
And the former undisputed champ was asked how he would get inside Henry’s head before a fight.
Usyk said: “Yeah, Thierry is a great player but Thierry, my legs, they’re better with you. Thierry, don’t be afraid, my legs are better.”
Jamie Carragher and host Dave Jones burst into laughter as Henry was left head in hands.

And the Arsenal legend said: “Sometimes you have to stay in your lane and I will stay in my lane.”
Usyk, 37, is an avid football fan and even signed for Ukrainian third tier team Polissya – even once playing in a friendly.
But his focus is back on boxing ahead of his Riyadh rematch with Fury, 36.
His split-decision win over the Gypsy King meant he became the first four-belt undisputed king in heavyweight history.

But he had to vacate the IBF title to proceed with the rematch allowing Daniel Dubois, 27, to inherit the belt.
Fury vowed to ditch any showmanship in the ring telling media: “I need to be more focused this time and not do as much showboating.
“One of the commentators said: ‘Has anybody ever seen Tyson Fury clown this much against even lower level opposition?’
“That’s how easy it was for me and you can get complacent.”
