Oleksandr Usyk performs four-coin trick during workout for Anthony Joshua rematch

Oleksandr Usyk showed no sign of nerves as he performed a coin trick after working out for his rematch with Anthony Joshua.

Heavyweight world champion Usyk will put his three belts on the line in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night, 11 months after dethroning Joshua in London. The second instalment has long been delayed due to the war in Ukraine but Usyk looked more than ready during his workout in Jeddah.

He declined to do any pad work in the ring, instead opting to shadow box before pulling out a handful of coins. He placed two on his hand and arm, flicked them up and caught them effortlessly. He did the same on his first attempt with three coins before dropping one on his second effort. Undeterred, the former cruiserweight world champion attempted to catch four - and succeeded first time.
