Oleksandr Usyk Steals the Show With “Hitman” Outfit at Press Conference ahead of Rematch with Tyson Fury

In a bizarre twist ahead of their highly anticipated rematch, Oleksandr Usyk arrived at a London press conference dressed as a Hitman.

The Ukrainian heavyweight champion, known for his unorthodox approach, made a dramatic entrance by opening a briefcase, revealing a photograph of Tyson Fury receiving a powerful left hand during their May 19 fight.

Usyk then approached Fury, who signed the photo with a nonchalant “Nice one.” The unexpected stunt added a layer of intrigue to the already tense buildup for their December 21 rematch in Riyadh.

While the press conference was relatively short on words, Usyk’s appearance and Fury’s subsequent reaction dominated the headlines.

Usyk, seemingly channelling the character Agent 47 from the video game “Hitman,” maintained a mysterious demeanour throughout the event.

When asked whether he needs to do anything differently in the rematch, Usyk simply replied, “No.” When he was asked what he was surprised by in the first fight, Usyk replied with a blunt, “I don’t remember.”

He concluded with a message to Fury: “No.”

Fury, on the other hand, offered a more detailed response, acknowledging the need to be more focused and strategic in order to secure victory.

“I have to be a little more focused, a little more smart to get the victory,” Fury said. “All I can do is prepare well, train hard, eat well, go to bed early, wake up early, listen to people around me. And the rest is in God’s hands.

He continued, “I believe it will be my time this time. I believe all things that happen, negative or positive, are lessons. We must learn from them.”

Fury then went on to mimic Usyk’s one-word answers.

As the two fighters continue their training, the world eagerly awaits their highly anticipated rematch, which promises to be a thrilling showdown for boxing’s undisputed heavyweight title.
