OLEKSANDR USYK left fans in astonishment back in 2021 after taking on TWO sparring partners at once and attempting an outrageous double punch.

The Ukrainian southpaw, 34, is preparing to face Tyson Fury in an undisputed heavyweight clash in Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening.

And come fight night he could use the experience of a two-on-one from three years ago to help him in the ring.

Usyk, with headguard on, shared a clip of him on the backfoot as two men in red shirts walked towards him.

But the highlight of the video came when Usyk attempted a "double punch", before he ducked underneath the swinging arms of the two fighters.

Alongside the remarkable Instagram video, he added the caption: "Double punch. Part one."

And fans were left with their jaws on the floor, with one even calling him "The King".

Fast forward to the present day and Usyk is still playing creative mind games in the build-up to fights.

During the public workout on Wednesday, he turned to a southpaw stance as boxing fans were left stunned.

But switch-hitter Fury then responded by going southpaw too as the pair looked for a psychological advantage ahead of the fight.

Speaking earlier this week, Usyk said: "For me, it’s [a] big opportunity, for undisputed, for my family, for my country, for my people.

"I know Tyson Fury, in the next fight [with me] will be different [from the showing he gave against Ngannou]. He will be different against me.

"There is no destiny, God gives me the opportunity and I’m using this opportunity. Thanks to God for everything."
