WBC champ Fury called the Ukrainian out to his face following his knockout win over Derek Chisora last year, with Usyk sat ringside.

And in recent weeks, the pair have been publicly goading one another on social media.

But fans are loving Usyk's more offbeat style compared to foul-mouthed rants we're accustomed to hearing from other boxers.

This time, Usyk issued a warning to Fury, who he calls "belly", as he got ready to eat a gigantic burger washed down with a Coca Cola.

Another said: "Love this banter."

A third added: "Class. No swearing and still hurting Fury with that 'belly' tag."

Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, revealed that an announcement for the blockbuster bout is "imminent".

He told : "Both sides want the fight and are up for the fight. We are in a like mind.

"I don't think we're far off from announcing it.

"It's basically just a couple of things behind the scenes we're just trying to get sorted.

"I won't go into it as I don't want to compromise the situation.

"News is pretty imminent now."
