Fans amused by Usyk’s video

Here’s how fans reacted to Usyk’s latest taunt towards his opponent.

@CloudAtlas_47:

"Who said @usykaa didn’t have showmanship? I like the taunting."

@TheJjohns:

"The yum yum yum. He genuinely cracks me up. You know the little English he speaks, he’s just deadly. In the build-up to the Bomber fight, he was popping his head over the ad board to Bellew's interview pulling a face. He’s just so relaxed. It’s dangerous."

@GedaAmanuel:

"Belly ; a fighter with more than 20% body fat is not a good example and also not healthy. I think Fury doesn't listen to his nutritional advisor."

@Kam2879:

"Class. No swearing and still hurting Fury with that belly tag ."

@DonningtonDraig:

"Fair play he’s top dollar for entertainment, very hard not to like the fella ."
