On December 21, Saudi Arabia will host one of the most anticipated boxing matches of the year — a rematch between Ukrainian world champion Oleksandr Usyk and British boxer Tyson Fury. The athletes have already arrived in the country for the official "arrival ceremony".
The champion arrived at the event in a loose-fitting purple suit, which was complemented by an interesting accent - a white fur cape with the image of a wild cat. On her Instagram, the fashion designer Elvira Hasanova said that the costume is called "Invincible".
"Invincible" is not just a costume, but a visual manifestation of strength, individuality and symbolism. Deep purple, natural textures and the image of a wild cat combine into a harmonious ensemble that speaks the language of style and meaning," Elvira wrote.
According to the designer, she chose the image of a wild cat on fur because it symbolizes "independence, dexterity and hidden strength." He is the embodiment of freedom, elusiveness and readiness for surprises. Hasanova is convinced that these "qualities fully reflect Usyk's style."
An interesting detail was the cat's eyes, because they were of different colors: yellow and blue, which symbolize the Ukrainian flag. The designer noted that the cat was placed on the celebrity's shoulder because it seems to play the role of a protector and at the same time emphasizes his strength and confidence.
"In the image of Usyk, he emphasizes his confidence, charisma and ability to stand out not only as an athlete, but also as a cultural symbol. Violet radiates mysticism, creativity and decisiveness, traits that define Usyk's character both in the ring and outside of it," the fashion designer added.
In her opinion, purple went well with white. The latter, as Elvira says, symbolizes "purity, clarity of thoughts and a new beginning."
"The choice of colors, textures and symbols makes this image not just fashionable, but iconic. It emphasizes Usyk's personality, his nobility of spirit and ability to remain himself even on the world stage," Hasanova is convinced.
By the way, Usyk's rematch with Fury will take place this week, on December 21. At stake are the WBA, WBC and WBO world championship belts.
We will remind you that earlier Netflix made a film about Usyk. The premiere of the film will take place in Great Britain, Ireland, as well as in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa.
