Oleksandr Usyk was quick to respond and published his message to Tyson Fury. The Ukrainian called his opponent a friend.
In the video footage, the Ukrainian was wearing a Poliesie football club T-shirt. He noted the start of the Briton's training, but added that he himself was resting.
— Hello, my friend Greedy Belly! Keep training. I'm resting, brother, I know you're working hard, that's good, I appreciate it. Thank you very much, Greedy Belly. You're my friend. You're my friend! — said the Ukrainian.

Recall that in May, Usyk defeated Fury and became the absolute world champion.
The rematch between Usyk & Fury will take place on December 21 in Saudi Arabia. The status of absolute world champion will not be at stake in the rematch, since the Ukrainian vacated the IBF title for the fight between Joshua & Dubois.
