On the eve of the long-awaited rematch between Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk and British boxer Tyson Fury, an open training session was held. Usyk, who holds the WBC, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles, appeared in front of the media in purple sweatpants and a white hoodie with the words “Undisputed” on it. Video of the event was posted on his official YouTube channel, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
To the music of Artem Pivovarov, Usyk danced into the ring and performed several boxing moves without gloves for the press. During the presentation, the artist performed several popular songs, including the folk song “Oi na hory” in his interpretation and the duet hit “Tam u topoly” with Nastya Kamenskykh.
Tyson Fury, in turn, was less active and limited himself to a short, about five-minute workout. He slowly put on his gloves, but did not work much in the ring and soon finished the workout.
A day earlier, the traditional “arrival ceremony” for boxers took place. Usyk amazed the audience with his image – he appeared in a purple suit and a fur cape with an embroidered tiger. The spectacular outfit was created by the Ukrainian brand Damirli under the direction of designer Elvira Hasanova.
The rematch between Usyk and Fury will take place on the night of December 21. The WBC, WBA and WBO championships will be at stake.
