An official promo video for the rematch between the holder of the WBC, WBA, IBO and WBO heavyweight championship belts Alexander Usyk and ex-world champion Tyson Fury.
The video was published on social networks by the boxers themselves, as well as the organizer of the fight and the head of the state entertainment authority of Saudi Arabia, Turki Al-Ash-Sheikh.

Fury is repeatedly startled when Usyk's face appears as a nurse, a police officer, and even a little girl.
Meanwhile, Usyk runs into Fury while riding in a taxi and buying sausages. Fury's father, John, also appears in the clip.
At the end, the boxers come back to reality and call each other, with Usyk saying: Hey, Tyson. We need to end this. And Fury replies: I'm going to finish you.
At the end of the promo, the boxers finally meet in the ring, but then there is a final shot when the referee shows his face, which is half Usyk's and half Fury's.
Fans on social media are raving about the promo for the upcoming fight between Usyk and Fury. Here are some of the comments:
- This is the best promo I've ever seen! They should be in a buddy cop movie.
- The best boxing promo of all time. Very creative!
- This is much better than the garbage Marvel has been putting out lately!
In May, Usyk became the first ever undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era, stripping Fury of the WBC title. The fight ended with Usyk winning by split decision.
The Usyk & Fury rematch will take place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on December 21.
Unlike the first fight, this time the undisputed heavyweight title will not be at stake. In June, Usyk vacated the IBF belt for a fight between Britons Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua.
