Now the pair are set to do battle again on December 21, and they are both taking part already in some light training for the mammoth sequel.
Fury sent a video message to his rival alongside his team, which he posted on Instagram, shouting: “Just finished a lovely little run in the bay with the lads.
“Working away, chipping away nicely. Usyk, you are on notice. Come on.”
Usyk’s response was typically hilarious, as he upped the stakes by using his famous ‘Greedy Belly’ nickname for Fury.
He replied in his own video: “Hello my friend, Greedy Belly. Continue training, I am ready brother.
I know you are working hard, it is good. I appreciate it, thank you so much Greedy Belly.
“You are my friend, you are my friend.”
The build-up to their first fight had been a battle of verbal jabs, with Fury regularly teasing Usyk’s size.
But Usyk, who regularly mocked Fury for his physique, proved that he had what it takes to become champion as he secured his split-decision victory over the Brit.
It is highly likely the Briton will not engage in as many insulting mind games as the time before, given their maiden result.
