Boxing fans have been treated to a crazy Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk promo video which sees the pair depicted as cowboys, pirates and monsters.
Excitement is building ahead of the bout, billed as ‘Ring of Fire’, as Fury and Usyk get ready to battle it out for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
English WBC heavyweight champion Fury takes on Ukrainian WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring champion Usyk in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on February 17.
The first promotional video for the fight dropped on social media on Wednesday which first sees Usyk, dressed as a cowboy, riding on horseback through a storm as he arrives in a western-style town.
The camera then shows a man running through saloon doors into a building where Fury appears to be getting his beard shaved.
The barber looks directly at the camera and says: ‘A tale as old as time. A legendary champion in search of another champion has found his match. A duel that transcends bullets and dust.’
Usyk is seen dismounting his horse as Fury bursts through the saloon doors to meet him outside and the pair lock eyes.
‘Both men undefeated,’ the voiceover continues. ‘Both men larger than life itself. Facing each other under the watchful eye of history.’
Fury and Usyk are then seen transforming into gladiators inside a colosseum before turning into pirates on a giant ship.
‘Beyond blood, sweat and fire,’ the voiceover adds. ‘And the mercy of the rough seas. The ravaging rivals.
‘And their fists will speak a language older than words. They will speak loudly and there is just one way to be remembered for all of eternity.’
Fury and Usyk become cartoon versions of themselves – and later giant monsters battling it out.
‘Let’s get ready to rumble!’ a boxing announcer screams after appearing from a lightning bolt before the voiceover finishes the video by saying: ‘It is time to fight.’
