Oleksandr Usyk has stepped up the mind games with Tyson Fury by branding his heavyweight rival ‘Belly’ ahead of their proposed undisputed megafight.

Usyk, who holds three of the division’s four recognized titles, is edging ever closer to a clash with WBC champion Fury that would crown the first undisputed king of heavyweights in more than two decades.

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren revealed this week that a draft contract has been sent to the Ukrainian outfit, with early March being targeted as a potential date with Saudi Arabia reportedly leading the race to host it.

Usyk is about to agree to an undisputed heavyweight showdown with Fury next.

And as they close in on a historic battle for all the heavyweight marbles, Usyk has taunted Fury by making fun of his physique. in a post on Twitter this week.

Along with a photo of himself looking skinny in a bathing suit, Usyk wrote Tuesday: ‘Middleweight is here! Where are you Belly? @Tyson_Fury’.

Usyk sarcastically referred to Fury’s common taunt that he is a “bloated middleweight”, despite winning a heavyweight gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics and beginning his professional career as a cruiserweight.

Fury said when he called out the 35-year-old in September: “I’m a seven-foot, 20-stone giant and I’ll destroy you, middleweight.” Find your balls and come see me, bitch’.

Fury and Usyk came face to face after the former’s win over Dereck Chisora ​​last month.

The two heavyweight champions went head-to-head after Fury’s win over Dereck Chisora ​​at Wembley last month, which saw him successfully defend his WBC title with a 10th-round knockout of his old foe.

After the fight, Usyk came to the ring to confront Fury, who yelled at his future opponent: ‘Ugly little man. Let’s put it in bitch. You can laugh now, but I’ll be done with this little fool. I will kill you. Little dumb. What are you going to do? You’re going to do shit, you little sausage.

Fury and Usyk are now on the verge of sealing their undisputed battle after Fury’s team sent out a draft contract, though Warren insists it needs to be signed “very, very quickly.”

“We sent them a draft contract, that’s where we are,” the Queensberry boss said in talk sport.

Fury successfully defended his WBC title that night after knocking out Chisora ​​in the tenth round.

Now he’s ready to meet Usyk, who holds the other three recognized heavyweight titles.

‘Listen, it has to be resolved very, very quickly now because time is against us.’

While a venue has yet to be decided, Warren went on to reveal that the most lucrative option would be pursued, with Saudi Arabia believed to be the favourite.

Asked where the fight might take place, the Queensberry boss continued: ‘Wherever the most money comes from. There is nothing in place from anywhere outside of the UK.

“We know what it can generate in the UK, but if it goes elsewhere that depends on what the numbers are.”

I know a lot of people complain and I agree he should be at Wembley, I’d love to see him there.

“But Muhammad Ali and George Foreman went and fought in Zaire, then you had Thrilla in Manila, you had the big fights in Jamaica.

“They went where the money was and these guys will do the same.”
