Usyk donned flash sunglasses and a Ukrainian inspired outfit as he arrived for the blockbuster ‘Fight Card of the Century’.
The 38-year-old could be seen walking in with his entourage, with many of his pals matching his yellow and blue Stone Island attire.
Usyk was videoed immediately shaking hands with Liam Smith, whose brother Callum handed Joshua Buatsi the first defeat of his career in the first fight of the night.
But it was Usyk’s interaction with AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn that had everybody talking early on.
The unified WBC, WBA, and WBO heavyweight champ could be hearded quietly chanting: “Eddie, Eddie, Eddie” before he shook hands with Hearn.
Usyk then quizzed the Matchroom owner: “Is Anthony Joshua here?”
To which Hearn simply responded: “Yes”.
And fans believe it could be a sign of things to come later as there’s been talks of a possible third fight between AJ and Usyk.

One wrote: “Usyk is the man. What a gangster!”
Another wrote: “Bros aura is crazy 
.”
A third said: “AJ will probably try to call him out later. But there’s no point.”
Anthony Joshua is also in attendance for Beterbiev vs Bivol 2[/caption]
The Watford boxer was easily beaten in their first two bouts – before Usyk then did the double over Tyson Fury, who retired last month.
Hearn also stated that his fighter would like “another crack at Daniel Dubois” – who holds the IBF belt.
Dubois was looking to defend his IBF title on Saturday after coming off a brutal knockout win over Joshua in September.
Dubois pulled out of Saturday’s co-feature heavyweight title match against Joseph Parker with illness.
With Usyk and AJ both in the building, they’ll watch Congolese boxer Martin Bakole step in to fight Parker on two days notice.
But everybody has truly travelled to Riyadh to watch two of the very best fighters in the world rematch as the headliner.
Artur Beterbiev will rematch Dmitry Bivol for the undisputed light-heavyweight world championship on Saturday.
