When it comes to press conferences, combat sports fans have seen plenty of iconic ones, from Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather to Mike Tyson’s infamous Lennox Lewis showdown. Now, joining the ranks is the recent Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury presser, which stood out for being absolutely hilarious and entertaining. Usyk showed up dressed as Agent 47, complete with a briefcase like a hitman, and he finally revealed what was inside.
At a recent press conference, Tyson Fury made his signature electrifying entrance, as always. However, when Oleksandr Usyk arrived, he instantly captured the attention of the entire combat sports community. With a freshly shaved head and dressed as “Agent 47” from the Hitman video game, the 37-year-old showed off a black suit and gloves while carrying a briefcase that had fans turn heads.
When Usyk made his entrance as Agent 47, fans were fixated on his briefcase, curious to know what was inside. The heavyweight champ eventually revealed its contents, and to everyone’s surprise, it was a picture of Usyk landing a punch on Fury during their first fight in May. And he even made a ‘Gypsy King’ sign on it. Subsequently, while putting the picture back into the briefcase, he jokingly said it would be up on eBay the next day.
There’s no doubt this will go down as one of the most hilarious pressers in recent memory. Usyk, already known for his humorous personality mixed with serious power, has only added to his hype. And now fans will be more eager to see what he does next.
Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury Rematch Details
Following the entertaining presser, all eyes are on these two heavyweights. Usyk won their first undisputed showdown by split decision, and now the big question is whether Fury will make a comeback or if Usyk will stay undefeated. The big rematch is set for December 21 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Unlike their previous encounter, this rematch won’t be for the undisputed heavyweight title, as Usyk relinquished the IBF belt after his victory to provide mandatory challengers with their chance. That means only Usyk’s WBA, WBC, and WBO heavyweight titles will be on the line. Currently, there are only five fights on the card, and it will be interesting to see how this event will unfold.
