The countdown to the Usyk vs. Fury II rematch on December 21 is on! Now the makers of the “Riyadh Season” have fired up the PR machinery and produced a two-minute trailer that should make the whole “thrill” of the heavyweight showdown tangible.
Drive people mad
The story of the crazy promo film for the rematch in the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia): Boxing rivals Fury and Usyk suffer from paranoia. They are haunted by an evil spirit that appears everywhere in the person of the other and drives them both mad. You can watch the spectacular trailer here:
Just recently, the organizers in Riyadh had an Oscar-worthy appetizer produced for the Undisputed light heavyweight showdown. The two champions Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol met as power-hungry warriors a la “Vikings” and acted out their rivalry in an almost five-minute trailer.
The first duel for all the major heavyweight world championship belts also took place in Riyadh in May. Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk fought an epic battle, which the Ukrainian ultimately won by split decision to be crowned Undisputed Champion.
