Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will face off again on December 21, 2024, at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia. The rematch comes after Usyk's victory in their previous bout, where he became the first undisputed world champion of the four-belt era by claiming the WBC title.
A two-minute promotional trailer for the fight, titled "Usyk2Fury Reignited," has caught fans' attention with its horror movie-like theme. The trailer plays on the idea of the fighters' obsession with each other, showing them appearing in unexpected places in each other's daily lives.
In the video, Fury gets spooked when Usyk pops up as a nurse, police officer, and little girl during his day-to-day activities.
Usyk, on the other hand, sees Fury while riding in a taxi and shopping for sausages. The trailer also features John Fury at a caravan site and ends with a shocking scene of Fury screaming as Usyk appears on his belly.
Fans have praised the promotional video, with comments like:
"One of the best promos ever."
"Felt like I was watching a movie"
"This is the best official promo video ever"
One fan even joked:
"F*** me i Shouldn't have watched this before bed"
As the fight approaches, Fury has kept a low profile while focusing on an intense training camp with trainer SugarHill Steward.
He's packed on serious muscle mass and brought in South African boxer Kevin Lerena for intense sparring sessions. Fury's strategy will likely involve making the most of his size advantage.
Usyk, who outclassed Fury in their previous match, will look to use his incredible athleticism and underdog status to his advantage once again. He'll aim to negate Fury's height and reach advantage, just as he did in their first encounter.
