Tyson Fury was the picture reflection of WWE superstar “The Undertaker” as he and Oleksandr Usyk arrived in Saudi Arabia for their undisputed fight, scheduled for this weekend in Riyadh.
WBC champion Tyson Fury and WBO/IBF/WBA ruler Oleksandr Usyk made a grand entrance at Boulevard Riyadh City ahead of their highly anticipated undisputed heavyweight bout scheduled for Saturday, May 18, at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In a spectacular display, Fury, alongside Usyk and other undercard boxers, attended the grand arrivals event. Both fighters, accompanied by Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank, addressed the media and fans.
Fury, known for his showmanship, adopted a WWE wrestling persona for fight week, dubbing himself “The Undertaker” in anticipation of his clash with Usyk.
Despite the theatrics, Fury seemed focused on the task at hand, despite his father’s involvement in a skirmish with a member of Usyk’s team the previous day, an incident that left John Fury with a bloodied face.
Having faced challenges in his previous bout against Francis Ngannou, Fury appears to be in better shape this time as he prepares to take on Usyk, who recently defended his unified heavyweight titles against Daniel Dubois.
The bout between Fury and Usyk was initially scheduled for December and February but was postponed both times. As the heavyweight champion for almost nine years, Fury is no stranger to the spotlight and the pressures of big fights.
Also, Nigerian-born, former two-time heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua is also in Saudi Arabia ahead of this titanic clash.
Joshua will take a ring-side seat as Fury and Usyk battle in the biggest bout of the 2024 boxing calendar.
