JOHN FURY has bizarrely branded Oleksandr Usyk a “rabbit” that his son Tyson will skin and eat alive.
A blockbuster undisputed heavyweight title fight between the pair is on the cards for early next year – provided Tyson gets through his Tottenham trilogy fight with Derek Chisora unscathed.

The size difference between former undisputed cruiserweight king Usyk and 6’10 man-mountain Tyson is one of the biggest talking points ahead of the showdown.
But John believes his son will walk through the Ukrainian, telling Freebets.com: “Half of Britain do not know who the Ukrainian rabbit is.
“I will call him a rabbit because that’s how small he is.
“At the end of the day Tyson will show what he does with rabbits.
“Skin them and eats them.
“You hear a lot of stuff going to and fro on social media.
“It is all rubbish and it doesn’t hold any water.”
John reckons Usyk should seriously contemplate getting in the ring with the dominant WBC heavyweight champ.

He added: “The Ukrainian rabbit will need to think long and hard about boxing Tyson.
“When you see him up close and personal, you have to have minerals.
“I don’t think he wants to jump in with Tyson, I think he wants a couple more paydays first before it is over for him.
“Big guys beat small guys that have never been disproven ever.
“On the law of averages, a good big man will beat a good little man.”
Tyson is confident of mopping the floor with the undefeated Usyk, should the lucrative bout – which is expected to take place in the Middle East early next year – come to fruition.
He recently told Queensberry Promotions’ YouTube channel: “I’ll tell you now what people are going to say when I splatter Usyk.
“They’re going to say, ‘He was too small! It was a mismatch! He was never any good to Tyson.

“It was a mismatch.’ Whatever. And then we move on. How am I going to get credit for beating a man half me size?
“It’s all for me to lose and nothing to gain. ‘Oh, he beat a guy half of his size. Oh, [Usyk] beat the bodybuilder [Joshua].'”
