Before the start of the duel, the legendary actor Sylvester Stallone came out to the boxers
WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO heavyweight title holder Alexander Usik and WBC world champion Tyson Fury spent a tense duel of glances during a press conference at Wembley Stadium in London.
During the duel of glances, Usik and Fury collided with their foreheads and began to push each other. Tyson also, in his characteristic manner, began to insult the Ukrainian champion.
Note that before the duel of glances began, the legendary actor came out to Usyk and Fury Sylvester Stallone and took several photos together.
The Usik-Fury fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion will officially take place on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Initially, the fight between Usik and Fury was planned to be organized on December 23 in Riyadh. However, it later became clear that the “Gypsy King” would not have time to prepare for this time after the fight with Francis Ngannou at the end of October.
Fury defeated Ngannou via split decision. It was reported that the Briton received two cuts in a fight with the former UFC champion.
Usik fought his last fight on August 27 in Wroclaw, Poland. The Ukrainian knocked out Daniel Dubois in the 9th round and defended his championship titles.
