While ignoring the bully is the best way to go, he has to be ready for anything. I've had a lengthy experience with bullies in elementary, middle and high school, and what they want is to provoke a reaction from the victim. Any reaction. While some will stop bullying after being ignored, others will keep going and will go to lengths to get his attention.
The most important thing here is to not let their insults affect him in any way, even personal ones. Apart from ignoring them, let them know their insults won't hurt or budge him. And it's important to be ready for anything. Bullies are troubled people, and I've seen why firsthand.
