Usyk took a radical step before the fight with Fury. Video fact

Ukrainian WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) has changed his image dramatically. On the eve of his rematch with Tyson Fury, our 37-year-old boxer shaved his head.

Mykola Tkachenko, Usyk's coach, posted a short video from Oleksandr's training camp on his Instagram. In the video, our titled heavyweight, completely bald, dances to the track "I'm There" by Ukrainian rap artist SKOFKA & SKOF.

Earlier, OBOZ.UA reported that Usyk decided to stop using social media while preparing for the rematch.

It will be recalled that in the first fight, Oleksandr defeated Tyson by split decision 114:113, 113:114, 115:112 and became the absolute world heavyweight champion.

A month after the fight, on May 18, the Ukrainian lost his International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt.

On December 21, Oleksandr Usyk will have his rematch against Tyson. It's worth noting that artificial intelligence made its prediction for the second fight between Usyk and Fury.

The legendary Wladimir Klitschko shared his expectations for the rematch between Usyk and Fury. And ex-champion Amir Khan disagreed with the forecasts for the boxers' second fight. In addition, Russian Alexander Povetkin attributed the success of our compatriot to Russia.
