Usyk attended a press conference before the rematch with Fury dressed as the main character of the Hitman games

While the "Gypsy King" is hounding the Ukrainian on social networks, Oleksandr Usyk came to a press conference dressed as the main character of the Hitman video game and film series, on Wednesday in London's 15th century Guildhall. The killer clone, also known as "Agent 47", who was played by Fury's opponent, came in a black suit and black gloves, a white shirt and a red tie. At one time, Tyson Fury came to a press conference before the fight with Klitschko in a provocative Batman costume, singing obscene ditties. This is quite in the style of the "Gypsy King", who is generally known as one of the most scandalous modern boxers. But no one expected this from the disciplined and very restrained Usyk.

The fight between the athletes, which will take place in Saudi Arabia on December 21, will no longer be a championship fight. Usyk gave up his title and belt in favor of Dubois and Joshua. As a result, a spectacular knockout victory over Anthony Joshua confirmed the high status of the British fighter, and Usyk agreed to fight Fury again, as the whole world was waiting for a rematch. The first fight on May 19 in Riyadh ended with the victory of the Ukrainian boxer by a split decision of the judges. Usyk won the title of absolute world champion in the heavyweight division, and all the time after Fury did not stop, arguing that the meeting should be repeated. Now the athletes have clearly begun to warm up the public by coming in costumes of game heroes, offensive remarks on the Internet. Traditional practice before boxing fights, which spins the flywheel of the fans' interests. Although Fury and Usyk are guaranteed to have the world's attention even without such antics - their fight is perhaps the most anticipated event in the boxing community this winter.
