Usyk Asks Fury To Sign Their First Duel Photo

JAKARTA Oleksandr Usyk asked Tyson Fury to sign a photo of the British fighter being boxing from him in their first duel.

This was done in their meeting for a press conference as well as a promotion for a simple rematch that took place in Guildhall, London, England, on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, local time.

"I look like adia," Fury told Usyk who appeared with the head of the plontos in the session, as quoted by the BBC.

On that occasion, Usyk appeared in a black suit, red tie, and complete with dark gloves. The appearance looks like Agent 47 from the video game series The Hitman.

The boxer from Ukraine then entered the press conference room accompanied by Franz Schubert's version of Ave Maria. It was a song used in the game series.

As for Fury entering the room with Aqua's Barbie Girl song. During the press conference session, Usyk took a photo out of the suitcase and asked the rival to sign it.

"I'm looking forward to a fantastic fight, Oleksandr won the first fight in a fair way," Fury told the news conference.

Usyk and Fury are scheduled to board the ring for their rematch on December 21, 2024 in Saudi Arabia. However, their duel is no longer up for the four heavyweight belts.

You see, Usyk has vacated his IBF belt which Daniel Dubois won when appearing not as a seed against former world champion twice, Anthony Joshua.

Fury previously lost his WBC belt in May 2024 after he lost against Usyk through a separate decision (split decision).

At that time, Usyk finally won the title as the undisputed heavyweight world champion for the first time in 25 years.
