Tyson Fury<\/a> has fired back at Oleksandr Usyk\u2019s team after he was compared to Vladimir Putin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fury and Usyk will collide once again on 21 Decembe<\/a>r in Saudi Arabia<\/a> after \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 suffered the first defeat of his career against the Ukrainian in May.<\/a><\/p>\n

The war of words between the two recommenced this week with Fury blasting his rival along with his promoter Alexander Krassyuk and manager Egis Klimas.<\/p>\n

While Usyk played it cool in his response, Klimas fired back at Fury, insisting the Briton \u2018sounds like Putin\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n

The former WBC heavyweight champion is locked away in fight camp but took a night off on Saturday to attend the Nick Ball vs Ronny Rios fight in Liverpool, with his cousin Walter Fury fighting on the undercard.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Queensberry Promotions during the broadcast, Fury acknowledged Klimas\u2019 comments and repeated his Tupac-inspired dig at his rival and his team.<\/p>\n

\u2018I know his team are a little bit upset, they’ve even compared me to Vladimir Putin today. I’m not sure why,\u2019 Fury said. \u2018But I’ve been listening to Tupac so Egis, f**k you, f**k your team, f**k Usyk, f**k Alex [Krassyuk] and if you’re down with Usyk well f**k you too.’<\/p>\n

Elsewhere during TNT Sports\u2019 live coverage of Saturday\u2019s boxing, Laura Woods was forced to apologise to viewers after Fury called Uysk a \u2018motherf****r\u2019 on live TV.<\/p>\n

After watching his cousin Walter pick up the win in front of his delighted family members, Fury was invited from ringside to join Woods, Steve Bunce and former world champion Anthony Crolla on stage to discuss December\u2019s fight.<\/p>\n

\u2018I’ve always been a bad man my whole life and I’m still one today at nearly 40 years old. Few years off 40, but still, I like to say that, it sounds more,\u2019 Fury said.<\/p>\n

\u2018However, I’m going to go in there with destroy mode. Last time I went to box him and I was being cautious.<\/p>\n

\u2018I was boxing the head right off him, let’s talk facts. Anyone can get caught as we’ve seen in a lot of these heavyweight fights. But this time I’m not going for a points decision. I’m going to knock a motherf***r out. I’m not even sure if you can say that on TNT.\u2019<\/p>\n

Woods swiftly swooped in with the presenter apologising to viewers.<\/p>\n

\u2018It might be past the watershed, but I probably do have to apologise for a couple of people watching if you’re offended by that. It is Tyson Fury though, so you might get a bit of that anyway.\u2019<\/p>\n

Fury then urged anyone who didn\u2019t like his language to \u2018change the channel\u2019. \u2018I will apologise for my behaviour. If you don’t like it, change the channel!\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
