Oleksandr Usyk ignited the build-up to his rematch with Tyson Fury by dressing as an assassin for their London press conference – before then getting his rival to sign a provocative photo.
Taking the guise of Agent 47 from the video game ‘Hitman’, Usyk wore a black suit, red tie and black leather gloves with his head fully shaved.
When asked what was in the black briefcase he was carrying, the WBC, WBA and WBO world heavyweight champion produced a poster of him landing a big left hand on Fury taken from their first clash in May.
He took it over to Fury to sign and the ‘Gypsy King’ duly wrote his name across it. Usyk joked that he would put it on eBay but otherwise gave the briefest of answers as the two went head to head for the first time before they collide in Riyadh on December 21.
