OLEKSANDR USAYK photobombed Tyson Fury, with both men present at Vasily Lomachenko's fight with Richard Commey in New York.
After Fury had told Usyk that he was coming to Madison Square Garden, while talking on the phone with his heavyweight opponent, Fury said it again.
Usyk hides behind an unknowing Fury
Fury, 33, initially didn't realize Usyk was behind him, as he unknowingly smiled with Bob Arum, 34.
After flexing his muscles behind Gypsy King, the Ukrainian quickly evaded.
Fury spun around and finally clocked Anthony Joshua as the conqueror.
They shared a high-five, before exchanging a few words.
Fury has knocked out Deontay wilder in October. He previously stated that he wanted Usyk to fight for the undisputed crown.
Joshua had already signed a contract for a rematch against the Ukrainian so he would have required a fee to step aside.
Tentative discussions had begun to do so, and the WBC ordered Fury to defend his title contre Dillian Whyte.
Fury's promoters Frank Warren and Frank Warren have begun negotiations with Whyte. This will put an end to any hopes of a unification bout.
Arum previously stated that Fury and Usyk might fight in Saudi Arabia in March.
These plans were abandoned, but Fury was instructed to fight Whyte next.
The bout between the British couple is expected to take place in February or March 2022.
This gives the Gypsy King an opportunity to fight in the UK, his first fight since 2018 after he had boxed in five American fights.
