Wladimir Klitschko mocked Tyson Fury's call-out of Oleksandr Usyk by appearing to brand his former rival a clown.
Fury is expected to take on heavyweight rival Usyk in a clash for all four belts which would crown the first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. The pair's teams are locked in talks to stage the showdown in spring, with just a venue and date appearing to hold up an official confirmation.
After week's of social media silence over the festive period, Fury made a call-out video yesterday addressing Usyk's recent "belly" video which began their trading of verbal barbs. He shouted: “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!"
