Oleksandr Usyk jokingly called soccer legend Thierry Henry out. Henry responded with a witty one-liner that drew a laugh from everyone present in the studio.
In a 'Monday Night Football' segment, Usyk was interviewed by Sky Sports ahead of the Bournemouth vs. West Ham EPL game. The heavyweight was asked how he would get inside the football legend's head if he were to face Henry in a fight. In response, Usyk expressed appreciation for Henry and then issued a stern warning to the Frenchman, saying:
''Yeah, Thierry is a great player, but hey Thierry, my legs, they’re better than you, Thierry, don’t be afraid, my legs are better.''

Oleksandr Usyk discusses Tyson Fury's trash-talking skills ahead of their matchup
This weekend, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will once again lock horns in Riyadh. Ahead of their bout, Usyk gave his take on Fury's trash talk in an interview with TNT Sports.
Revealing that he enjoys the heightened emotion generated by his English counterpart, Usyk said:
''Yes, I enjoy this. Because these are the emotions, these are the memories that when we are two old men, he [Tyson] promised to come to Ukraine to my ranch. We’re going to be drinking beer and he will say, ‘Remember how you beat me twice?' I want to smack his face until his cheeks go red. But I keep in mind that I have to be calm.''
