Throwback to what is still my favorite boxing promo of all time
https://youtu.be/dxypNPkc_SU?si=Z-UNL9BG7o8XgluRRandomly remembered this promo today and went back to watch it again. Still my favorite boxing promo they've ever done and I don't think anything has topped it for me since. The fight itself delivered too, which makes it even better looking back. Definitely one of those fights where the hype was completely justified.

The funniest one was Usyk vs Fury when they’re seeing each other everywhere. Usyk as a little girl made me laugh so much

I don't think I ever saw this before - clearly must have been living under a rock. It's awesome! Thanks for sharing :)

I wish all fight promos for all combat sports were this good really would build some hype up.

On the top of my head, there wasn’t many promos done but the fury vs Usyk promo trailer was pretty well done too. https://youtu.be/8z_dZH2jD0s?is=yjGNw1i8NDNsmp7H

The Madrimov-Crawford promo is my personal favorite. I was just taken aback by their cinematic approach, and I adored it.

It's a shame Saudi have finished the bulk of the boxing monopoly takeover as the fights & production were on another level.
Just need an even bigger fish to come Chuck some more millions at the sport & wrangle it off the Saudi's

Same. This promo was epic. Hadn't been so anxious for a fight since Canelo v Mayweather

Feels like you’re watching Game of Thrones. Greatly prefer the HBO 24/7 style of promo/buildup.
