Oleksandr Usyk is hailed for 'COLD' ring walk prior to Tyson Fury bout... as he dons ushanka before the 'Gypsy King' dances on Bonnie Tyler on his way to unification fight

Oleksandr Usyk won plaudits for his ring walk ahead of his undisputed heavyweight title fight with Tyson Fury.

The two undefeated heavyweights went head-to-head in Riyadh on Saturday night as the division looked to crown its first undisputed world champion for the first time this century.

Fans waited in anticipation before the fighters made their ways to the ring at around 11:30pm BST, and also waited eagerly to see what the ring walks would be like. 

After the Saudi Arabia national anthem played, the fighters made their ways to the ring, with Usyk out first.

Michael Buffer announced the fighters before their walkouts via a pre-recorded video, with Usyk wearing a green robe and an ushanka.

He was praised by fans for his look, with one writing on X: 'Uysk entrance was COLD.'

Another posted: 'Uysk has won, I’m lying down if someone comes at me in that outfit.'

A third wrote: ' 

Fury then came out, dancing, with his father, John Fury, by his side.

He wore a cap backwards, shadow boxing as he made his way to the ring, transitioning from Barry White to Bonnie Tyler's Holding out for a Hero.

Upon entering the ring, he approached Usyk, who locked eyes on his opponent, before making his way to his corner.

Fury was chilled in his entrance, seemingly enjoying himself and taking his time in what was a complete contrast to Usyk's serious entrance.

'Usyk came out like a final boss and Fury came out like me after doing only side quests and skipping all cutscenes the whole game,' one fan posted on X.
