Fury, 35, has instead revealed that he is simply “looking for the biggest payday”.
The boxer has also claimed that he will “probably” try to face UFC star Jon Jones as the game sells better.
He told that Daily Mail: “No, I have no interest in fighting Usyk, he is a little Ukrainian idiot.
“That’s all he means to me. No interest in uniting the department. That means nothing to me.
“All this stuff about unification and whatever, it really doesn’t mean anything to me.”
“I’m looking for the biggest payday. Most of the time Usyk doesn’t succeed.”
“He’s just a foreigner who doesn’t speak good English, so you can’t really sell him.”
“I’m probably looking for another American. I probably want to fight Jon Jones in a boxing match.”
