Fury hurls insults at Usyk as tempers boil over... ts all in front of Rocky!

- CHRIS MCKENNA

TYSON FURY had all the respect in the world for Oleksandr Usyk - until the cameras switched on.

Then the show started and the showman emerged slinging insults across the stage towards the Ukrainian.

The pair faced off last night at a lavish press conference in London as their undisputed bout was confirmed for February 17 in Riyadh.

Even Rocky showed up- Sly Stallone (left) - to pose for pictures as the fighters stared each other down.

WBC champion Fury, 35, had just spent the previous half hour throwing verbal jabs at his foe in a battle between two undefeated stars.

Usyk seemed unperturbed as he made faces and smiled.
