Fans believe they have witnessed a pivotal moment in the rivalry between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. During a heated press conference in London, the two heavyweight fighters announced their highly-anticipated clash in Saudi Arabia on February 17. But it was Usyk's composed demeanor that seemed to have unsettled Fury, who launched a verbal attack on his Ukrainian opponent.

Fury loses his cool

The Gypsy King held nothing back as he unleashed a scathing tirade against Usyk. Fury's choice words included calling his opponent a "little sausage" and a "s***y with an earring." He also confidently predicted that Usyk would be knocked out in their upcoming fight.

Usyk's calm response

While Fury was busy venting his frustrations, Usyk refused to engage in the verbal exchange. Instead, he thanked the crowd for their warm welcome and calmly stated that he would let his actions in the ring do the talking.

Fury's vulnerability?

Boxing fans quickly took notice of Fury's heated reaction and speculated whether he was truly prepared for the fight. Some fans expressed concern, suggesting that Fury seemed rattled by Usyk's composed demeanor. They questioned whether Fury would follow through with the fight.

Despite the skepticism, others still believe that Fury will emerge victorious. However, they acknowledged that Usyk has managed to get under Fury's skin like no previous opponent.

A familiar tactic?

On the other hand, there were fans who dismissed the idea that Usyk had successfully gotten inside Fury's head. They pointed out that Fury has a history of employing similar tactics in his press conferences, asserting that this behavior is nothing new for the Gypsy King.

Ultimately, only time will tell whether Usyk's composed demeanor has truly rattled Fury or if it is just another chapter in the ongoing mind games between two heavyweight contenders.
