Usyk danced and fought the shadows, Fury fooled the fans – crazy media workout [VIDEO]

Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury checked in for a media workout. The Ukrainian fought with a shadow, while Fury fooled the fans by putting on gloves, which he took off after a while.

The big rematch at the top of the heavyweight category will take place on Saturday, December 21. Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will face each other for the second time in a clash for the WBC, WBO, WBA and RING championship belts.

Yesterday in Riyadh there was a special media training session organized for the gathered journalists and a handful of fans. Everyone expected both Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury to show a sample of their skills in the ring.

Oleksandr Usyk checked into the ring where he unleashed a few punches without gloves, fought with a shadow to the accompaniment of music from his countrymen, and then thanked those gathered and gave an interview.

A big prank was played on the fans by Tyson Fury. The King of Gypsy raised the hopes of those gathered by entering the ring and putting on the gloves. As it soon turned out it was of little use, as the Englishman jumped around in the corner for a while, then raised his hands in the air and began to take off the gloves. Fury probably didn’t want to reveal anything about his disposition hence such a decision. However, it must be admitted that journalists and fans may feel cheated.
