Suliman Khan thinks the shorts gave Tyson Fury “a Viking feel”

Saudi Arabia's Suliman Khan designed Tyson Fury’s waistband when he squared off against Oleksandr Usyk in May. Khan thinks that showy boxing attire is a significant factor in every bout, along with fiery face-off, strong performance in the ring and promotions.

Talking about the same to BBC Radio Wales Breakfast, the embroiderer from Cardiff said:

"It's about selling a fight isn't it. I think the person to come out in the most extravagant-looking shorts or outfit, it definitely does, it turns heads... I personally made the embroidery for the waistband on the front and on the back, and then Bespoke Boxing, the business that created the shorts, then handmade everything and pieced altogether."

Khan also thinks that Fury's outfit gave him a "little bit of a Viking feel":

"It kind of revolves around that centrepiece, he had there Gypsy King (Fury's nickname) on the front in big metallic gold font, it kind of suited the (big) occasion actually. It (the shorts) was giving a little bit of a Viking feel."
