The Ukrainian boxer impressed with a stylish look.
The WBA, WBO, WBC and IBO world champion in the heavyweight division Oleksandr Usyk in the image of “Hitman” appeared at the press conference before the rematch with Tyson Fury.
The Ukrainian boxer repeated the style of the main character of the eponymous series of computer games, who is a professional killer known under the name Agent 47.
Like the game character, Usyk came to the event in London in a classic black suit, white shirt with a red tie and leather gloves.
The character's special feature is that he has a bald head. It was this image that Alexander completely repeated, having previously shaved his head.
Usyk also posted a photo of his stylish look on social networks, addressing Fury: “I will not leave you alone. Never,” the Ukrainian wrote.
The Usyk-Fury rematch will take place on December 21 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). All titles held by the Ukrainian boxer will be at stake.
Unlike the first fight, this time the title of absolute world champion will not be at stake, since previously Alexanderrenounced the IBF title. Now it is owned by Daniel Dubois, who has already managed to defend it by knocking out Anthony Joshua.
Recall that on the night of May 19, 2024, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision in a fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion. At the end of the ninth round, Alexander knocked his opponent down.

Thus, Alexander defended the WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF belts, and also took the WBC title from the “Gypsy King”. Usyk became the first absolute world champion in the heavyweight division in the 21st century.
Before that, the last “absolute” heavyweight champion was Lennox Lewis, who won this status in 1999, when he defeated Evander Holyfield. At that time, the WBA, WBC and IBF titles were at stake. The WBO belt was recognized as equal in 2007, so Usyk became the first “absolute” heavyweight champion in history with four main titles.
