    Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury officially began the countdown to their much anticipated rematch with an intriguing press conference on Wednesday at London's Guild Hall.

    Usyk and Fury will meet for a second time this year in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on December 21, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View, following Usyk's original victory in May on a split decision.

    That made the Ukrainian the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Brit Lennox Lewis in 1999, while it inflicted Fury's first professional defeat.

    Wednesday's press conference was surprisingly calm, with both fighter's respectful and gracious.

    However both delivered highlights. Usyk turned up dressed as Agent 47 from the Hitman video game franchise. He then asked his rival to sign a photo from the first fight, an image of him punching Fury in the face.

    Morecambe's Fury, not to be out done, during their face-off went to tickle the champion, which draw laughter from all involved.

    Expect tensions to get more serious as fight night gets closer.

    Watch the highlights below.
