“The fight never ended; it just took over their minds,” said Turki Alalshikh in his tweet for the trailer.
Usyk also held the undisputed cruiserweight title, and became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis was stripped of that title in April 2000.
Fury looks to avenge his first career loss after going unbeaten in his first 35 pro bouts. Over the five fights that preceded the first bout with Usyk, Fury picked up stoppage wins over Deontay Wilder (twice), Dillian Whyte, Derek Chisora, along with a split decision win over former UFC champ Francis Ngannou.
