Since the Riyadh Season has taken control of most boxing events, it has definitely kept boxing enthusiasts engaged. Turki Alalshikh has once again impressed fans. The promotional material for the highly anticipated rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk looks incredible. Surprisingly, in this promo, both boxers showcase their acting skills.
Throughout the years, many top boxers have showcased their acting skills. However, there are few examples of this in fight promotions. Turki Alalshikh, who is dedicated to improving the sport of boxing, has impressed once again. He released a promotional video for the matchup between Usyk and Fury, with both shedding their acting bits in it. However, this isn’t the first time Alalshikh has done this.
Before the previous clash between Usyk and Fury, Alalshikh released a promotional video featuring both heavyweight boxers in the roles of infamous characters from Peaky Blinders. This time, however, the video takes a different approach, showing Usyk and Fury haunting each other. In the final moments of the video, they ultimately call each other out for their upcoming match on December 21.
