Oleksandr Usyk sends Tyson Fury ominous seven-word warning as hidden meaning revealed

Oleksandr Usyk dressed up as Agent 47 from the Hitman video game franchise - as he sent a chilling message to Tyson Fury before their much-anticipated rematch.

Usyk, 37, won their first fight in May, via split decision, to become the undisputed heavyweight champion and will defend all-but the IBF belt that now belongs to Daniel Dubois when they meet, yet again, on December 21. Exactly two months before that date, the boxers attended a launch press conference at Guildhall, London.

Fury previously had a penchant for attending such events in costume, namely as Batman before his fight with Wladimir Klitschko. However, this time, Dr Steelhammer's compatriot caught the eye with his outfit choice and shared a photo on social media.

Wearing a dark grey suit with a bright red tie around a white shirt and black leather gloves, the shaven-headed Usyk already has his Halloween costume sorted a week early. Captioning the post on Instagram, in which he is making a finger gun signal with his left hand, Usyk added: "I will not leave you alone. Never," before tagging Fury's account on the popular social media platform.

That message went live during the press conference, but that picture did not include the prop Usyk brought with him on stage. The champion entered the room holding a black briefcase, similarly to fictional character Agent 47 in the aforementioned video game franchise.

Agent 47 uses it to conceal weapons while going about his business as a contract killer. Unlike him, Usyk did reveal what was within the briefcase during the press conference, and it turned out to be a photo of him
