“How’s that? All these men I don’t care who is next. Wherever I can get the most money for my next fight, that is who I will fight.
“And if I have to fight a middleweight I will do it. Usyk called me a drunk recently but I want to see what he says about it.
“I like a drink yes I am a human but I know what he likes to do in his spare time.
“I think he is a s***house, he had an opportunity to fight for $65 million and he didn’t take it.

Usyk, 35, ruled himself out of the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed bout until next year.

Usyk told Seconds Out: “I’m appealing to Tyson Fury. Hey, Tyson, borracho, let’s make it happen.
“Hey borracho, let’s fight, let’s determine who is the best in the division, who is the best in the world.
“Borracho, Tyson Fury, you borracho. Tyson Fury is our biggest priority.”

“I don’t deprive myself of anything and I don’t save up for stuff.”
Fury has already beaten Chisora twice, in 2011 and 2014, and some concerned fans have been calling for the African to retire ever since he reached his 30s and started suffering the bulk of his 12 losses.
But the evergreen brawler insists Britain is too hung up on defeats and forcing fighters into retirement prematurely.
“It’s okay if you lose,” he said.
“It’s okay if you go through a divorce and you go back again.
“There’s nothing greater in life than living. It’s the best thing ever.
“For us, to have gone through all the preparation and you think you have trained hard enough, and you meet somebody who has trained hard enough as well and he wins, yes, you’re going to be upset, but you come out again and move on.
