“By Order of the Peaky Blinders”: Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk Fight Trailer Sends Shockwaves Through Boxing World

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are on the precipice of the biggest fight in the heavyweight division. To commemorate this event, the Saudis have released a trailer befitting its historic significance. Has it struck a chord? Well, Adam Catterall, Eddie Hearn, and Frank Warren answer the question.

On the 17th of February, a monumental clash will ensue between the WBC champion and his WBA/ WBO/ IBF titlist counterpart. As a part of the ongoing Riyadh season, the groundbreaking event will take its course at the coveted Kingdom Arena of the city. With little over a fortnight left for it, a grand trailer setting the premise of this fight has made its way to the internet. It involves a star from the infamous show, “Peaky Blinders,” along with the stars of the night, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

‘Ring of Fire’ Invoked

His Highness, Turki Alalshikh, the new kingpin of boxing and the Chairman of the General Authority for Entertainment of Saudi in a proud moment for him, posted the new trailer of the Fury vs. Usyk fight, billed ‘Ring of Fire.’ He captioned the X post, “The long-awaited undisputed heavyweight battle #RingOfFire between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is set to unfold [Fire Emoji] Let’s get ready to RUUUUUMBLLEEEEEEE.” The video features both the heavyweight giants, with a backdrop that changes swiftly in 164 seconds. However, one surprising element was the cameo by Peaky Blinders fame, Paul Anderson for his portrayal of the character, ‘Arthur Shelby Jr.’

The narrative is set early on in the video, with the actor’s voice laying the premise. From old school, western outlaws to Roman Gladiators, and Pirates, and then anime, the themes are overflowing in the short clipping. The video’s release comes in light of Anderson making headlines after he was fined for the possession of the banned drug, cocaine. However, that has not stopped fans and big names in the boxing realm from chiming in with their bits.

The Fight Of The Century enthralls one and all

Eddie Hearn, the famous British promoter, who earlier confirmed his attendance at the event has only one word to describe the video. “Wow”.

Frank Warren, another pertinent name who’s been active in the Saudi boxing circle also expressed his excitement elicited by the video.

Adam Catterall, the combat presenter also chimed in with his set of praises. He seemed pleased with Paul Anderson’s collaboration for the undertaking.

Gareth A Davies, the famous boxing analyst also furthered the conversation. He went ahead and called the video the greatest for the greatest fight of the century.

Then came a fan who expressed what everyone wanted to say after the promo hit the screens. Praise for the Saudis and their resources.

The trailer for this is packed with energy, something that will be amok in the Kingdom Arena on the 17th of February. That night, the heavyweight division will get its undisputed champion, a title without claim since about two decades now.
