Usyk was suited and booted in all black with a red tie and leather gloves – as fans likened him to a deadly Agent 47 from the Hitman video game.
One said: “The Hitman.”
Another added: “Oleksandr Usyk just walked into the Tyson Fury press conference as Agent 47 from Hitman.”
One joked: “Is he filming the new hitman game.”
Another said: “Unified Heavyweight Champion or Agent 47?”
Usyk, 37, became the first four-belt undisputed champion in heavyweight history following victory over Fury, 36, in May.
But he was forced to vacate the IBF belt to proceed with the December 21 rematch.
Now Fury attempts to avenge his only ever loss following the 12-round classic seven months prior.

He said: “We did the fight in May, a great fight, I know people keep going on about it but it’s in the past now, we’ve got to move on.
“I have to be a little bit more focused and smart to get the victory.
“My rematches with people, I always end up knocking them out, so I’m envisaging something similar against Usyk.
“All I can do is train well, eat well, go to bed early, listen to the people around me and the rest is in god’s hands.”
