The clash between the two camps at the start of this week was the latest in what he sees as his rival's histrionics, ending with Fury's father, John, bleeding after a head-butt.
As the week continues, Usyk is all too aware the barbs will likely keep coming, such as Fury previously suggesting he was so confident of winning the pair's heavyweight unification fight that he could do so after 15 pints - Peroni beers, to be more specific.
Non-plussed by the bravado, Usyk, speaking from his training camp in Valencia before jetting off to Saudi Arabia, said: "I would advise him to do 15 rounds of sparring instead of 15 pints.
"Look, I have no idea what Tyson Fury is saying, and I'm not interested at all.
He repeats the same things again and again, and the fight is postponed again and again, not on my initiative. Let him finally get into the ring and try to really show something." Fury-Usyk has been a long time in coming, first scheduled before Christmas and then at the end of February before Fury suffered a nasty gash above his eye. Now set for Saturday-barring any late hiccups the Ukrainian insists he is ready to win, despite giving away half a foot in height and seven inches in reach.
Speaking early last month, Fury had talked down his former cruiserweight opponent's credentials, saying: "When the cruiserweights step up to the big boys, they usually get found wanting."
