      “Rabbit, I’m coming for you, rabbit, you’re getting it, rabbit.
      “And I’ll tell you what else, I’m gonna bust you up real bad you little middleweight.
      “I’m going to slap you into a big pile of tattoos, sucker. Come on!”
      Fury has recently told his fans that he is going to stop trash-talking on social media and focus on training.
      He said: “Hi guys, as fun as it’s been over the last few days terrorising Usyk and his team, tomorrow I’m going to knuckle down into training camp.
      “And I’ll be doing a blackout as I always do on social media. Nav will be running my Instagram account, keeping you all updated on my training progress and how everything is going.
      “April 29th is definitely a worker, I will see you all on the night. Tune in or be there or be square.
      “This is the biggest event in British boxing history, the fight of the century.

      TNT Sports are freshening up their line-up ahead of next week’s launch – with Jake Humphrey having also departed to focus on other projects.

      In addition to her work for BT Sport, popular presenter Breach also hosts EFL highlights on ITV and England matches on Channel 4.

      Martin Tyler has left his role as senior commentator, with Peter Drury set to replace the 77-year-old.

      Kelly, 58, is the second high-profile personality to leave BT’s football coverage in recent weeks following the departure of host Jake Humphrey.
      Kelly, who was at BT for 10 years, was last seen presenting pitchside at the Champions League final when, according to The Mail, he caused controversy by asking for the autograph of Manchester City man Ilkay Gundogan live on air.
      His exit is said to have “shocked” colleagues who considered him an “untouchable” part of the team.
      He performed a similar role to Sky Sports’ Geoff Shreeves – who also left his post earlier this month after 30 years in the job.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Kelly assumed the position after a career as a newspaper journalist.
      He began with an evening chat-show, before switching to his role as a touchline reporter.
      Kelly famously challenged Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on numerous occasions when the German criticised the broadcasters for their part in fixture scheduling.
      And he was supported by BT Sport last month after asking Gundogan for his autograph.

      Laura Woods is being tipped to take over from Humphrey for Champions League games.
