On Wednesday, October 23, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury faced off at a press conference, but it was Usyk’s bold fashion choice that stole the show.
Usyk Channels Agent 47
The Ukrainian boxer arrived dressed as Agent 47, the iconic protagonist from the popular Hitman video game series. Usyk’s outfit mimicked the character’s signature look: a black suit, white shirt, red tie, and black leather gloves.
Inspiration from Gaming
The Hitman series, which debuted in 2000 and saw its latest installment in 2021, follows the story of a professional assassin. Usyk’s entrance paid homage to the game’s enduring influence on popular culture.
Upcoming Boxing Event
The press conference precedes the highly anticipated boxing match between Usyk and Fury, scheduled for Saturday, December 21. Turki Al-Sheikh, adviser to Saudi Arabia’s Royal Court and head of General Entertainment, recently unveiled the undercard for the event.
