Oleksandr Usyk, the current holder of the WBA, WBO, IBO, IBF, and The Ring heavyweight titles, employed an ingenious approach to entice Fury. He dropped hints about a potential contract signing and divulged the proposed fight date.
The Ukrainian fighter took to his Twitter page to post the corresponding tweet.
“Belly! How is your mood state?!
April 29?#RABBIT_belly 📞✍️”
By deciphering the champion's message, it becomes clear that Usyk has directly addressed his rival Fury as "Belly," while also proposing April 29 as the date for their anticipated fight.
Additionally, the inclusion of a phone and a hand holding a pen strongly suggests that Usyk is hinting at the signing of a contract between the two boxers.
It's delightful to see such a great sense of humor in our champion. We offer our utmost support to him and wish him nothing but triumph in his upcoming fight.
One of the major hindrances in arranging the fight between Usyk and Fury was the IBF's demand that Usyk make a mandatory defense of his title.
