“Tried all week to get out of it, begging for a rematch like a little girl. You got your rematch then didn’t even want to fight at that. You little s--thouse pussy.

“Always know, p---y, that you was never man enough to tangle with The Gypsy King, ever in your life. You little 14-stone coward, and your full team know it as well. 

And all the lawyers have got the full information, you little ugly b---rd.” 

Fury teases retirement

Fury's manager Frank Warren of Queensbury promotion expressed disappointment that the undisputed heavyweight title showdown will not take place.

From his perspective, Usyk's manager Alex Krassyuk walked away from the fight that was stil salvageable.

Warren then went on to hint that there are no offers for Fury that make sense and he could retire for the second time.

He said, “I genuinely thought he said what he wanted - he doesn't care about money, he just wants to fight for the four belts. 

"But he pulled out of the fight. You can dress it up, slag off me, slag off Tyson Fury. They. Pulled. Out.

“Everything's too raw at the moment. Listen, he may retire. I don't know what he wants to do. He'll do whatever he wants to do.”

Usyk's manager has hinted at a return for the Ukrainian against Daniel Dubois the reigning WBA heavyweight title mandatory.

Should Fury choose to retire the WBC will have to sanction the final eliminator between Deontay Wilder and Andy Ruiz as the title fight.
