FANS were torn between a WWE superstar and an iconic 80s pop sensation while attempting to figure out who Tyson Fury resembled in his “new style”.
On Saturday night, the Gypsy King will face Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title in Saudi Arabia.

During the build-up to the bout, the WBC champion’s father HEADBUTTED Stanislav Stepchuk, a member of the opposing camp, causing tensions.
Usyk then warned Fury and his father, John, that his hidden army of gu𝚗-and-knιfe trained warriors would not tolerate another аssаult.
However, the 35-year-old Brit appeared to be more concerned about his appearance as he arrived at the Grand Arrivals event yesterday night.
Fury was initially spotted entering the event sporting a pair of jazzy trousers, a black vest jacket, and a dark cap. “He looks like the Undertaker,” said one spectator on social media after seeing his attire, referring to the WWE wrestling icon.
While another inquired, “Why is he dressed like Boy George?”
Although most agreed that “this is a new style,” many praised the star’s outfit.
One fan commented, “Tyson’s swag and that hat, a magnificent entrance dance, a showman’s heart! Fury’s flair, a fantastic start!”While a fourth fifth said, “Oh, the shimmy and that hat, Tyson’s swagger lights the path!” His big arrival, a joyful dance, a memory we’ll cherish forever!”
His father’s flame appeared to be ignited by Usyk’s squad chanting for him earlier this week at the Hilton Hotel in Saudi Arabia.A Sky Sports interviewer asked Fury last night: “This chanting has now become a thing; they obviously believe that they will not be able to frighten you but can make some noise around your camp. “Does this make any difference?”
Fury, still wearing his black helmet, mockingly stated, “Nervous. Shaking. TerrifieԀ.”
He was then questioned if he would concede if he felt nervous.
That prompted the 6’9″ fighter to respond, “I’m totally bricking it.” “I can hardly stand up.”
He then concluded his response by saying “Usyk” followed by a mimicking feаrful scream.
John, who had a bloodied forehead, broke his silence over the headbutting event and sought to defend it by saying, “I’m a warrior, that’s what we do”..
He stated, “[They] disrespected my son, the best heavyweight to ever wear a pair of boxing gloves.”
“Coming out with all that crаp. He’s in my face, attempting to be witty.
“They’re coming into my space, ‘Usyk, Usyk’, and no one is bothering them. I was merely chanting my son’s nаme.”They stepped closer and closer. So I’m a warrior at the end of the day because that’s what we do.
“We’re figҺting people, you come in the space, you’re gonna get what’s coming.”
