Tyson Fury has called fellow heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk a “14-stone coward” in an expletive-laden social media post after talks for an undisputed fight broke down. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A proposed bout at Wembley Stadium on 29 April fell through this week. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Usyk had agreed a 70\/30 purse split in Fury’s favour with terms for a rematch the only outstanding issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Tried all week to get out of it, begging for a rematch,” Fury said in an Instagram story on Thursday. <\/span><\/p>\n

In a 50-second clip, which included numerous insults targeted at Usyk, Fury added: “You got your rematch and didn’t want to fight at that. You were never man enough to tangle with the Gypsy King ever in your life.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Fury currently holds the WBC heavyweight belt, while Ukraine’s Usyk – <\/span>who beat Britain’s Anthony Joshua for a second time last year<\/span><\/a> – has the others in the division. <\/span><\/p>\n

After months of negotiations, Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, said on Wednesday the <\/span>fight is definitely off<\/span><\/a> and “does not think” it will happen in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n

Usyk, the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and Ring magazine champion, wants a proposed rematch to happen in November or December, but there are fears among Team Fury that the four belts would have fractured by then.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the Ukrainian overcame Fury in their first fight, he would also expect an improved purse split in a rematch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both parties have until 1 April to agree a deal after the <\/span>WBA said it will wait<\/span><\/a> until that date before ordering Usyk to fight mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Keep running,” Fury continued. “Fight Dubois at the Copper Box now.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Londoner Dubois, meanwhile, has said he “definitely, 100%” wants a world-title shot next. <\/span><\/p>\n

He told Pitch Boxing: “Why not go for the big one now? I’m 100% going for it and I believe I can knock him [Usyk] out.”<\/span><\/p>\n

There has not been an undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999 when Lennox Lewis beat Evander Holyfield – and never been one in the four-belt era.<\/span><\/p>\n
