Tyson Fury‘s body transformation ahead of his undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk has left fans in disbelief.

The Gypsy King looks as ripped as ever with just under two months until his bout with the Ukrainian.

The heavyweight world will seek to elect a unified champion for the first time in 24 years on May 18, with a reported £100million purse up for grabs.

Boxing followers believe Fury is taking his fight with Usyk much more seriously after he scraped through his fight with Francis Ngannou, winning via split decision after being knocked down.

His long-time sparring partner Martin Bakole claimed that Fury didn’t prepare properly for his fight with Ngannou, telling IFL TV: ‘Tyson was not 100 per cent focused in the gym.’

Heated words exchanged between Ngannou & Fury at press conference

His physique is radically different to when he fought Francis Ngannou back in October

Usyk himself suggested that Fury didn’t take the fight seriously, asking: ‘Was he playing around trying to fool me?’

However, Fury appears to have stepped up the intensity of his training and posted a video at the weekend promising that he would ‘f***ing batter’ his undefeated opponent.

In an exclusive chat with Mail Sport last year, Fury said: ‘I would love to have a good body. But, I don’t have any hope of having a good body.

‘I am fat now, I was fat as a baby and I will be fat on my death bed. We’re all fat. Hughie is fat, Shane’s fat, my dad’s fat and even my mum’s fat. I hope she’s not watching this. But, we’re a fat family.’

The Brit doesn’t appear to have even a spare ounce on his muscular physique and fans have been left amazed by his transformation.

‘Tyson looks hungrier than ever to prove himself after that Ngannou fight. We’re about to see another historic Fury performance,’ one wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

‘Never seen Tyson that cut,’ said another.

‘That doesn’t even look like the same person,’ one said, adding a shocked face emoji for emphasis.

Even this update from early February shows Fury’s body looking far more toned than it had previously

Fury started his dedicated training camp for the Usyk fight earlier this week

Many think Fury didn’t prepare for the Ngannou fight properly, especially after his long-time sparring partner Martin Bakole said so

Fans have been raving about Fury’s attitude and new physique ahead of the Saudi Arabian bout

‘Tyson Fury over here looking like The Rock,’ another commented.

‘It’s obvious he didn’t take Ngannou seriously,’ one said after seeing his transfromation.

‘Ngannou actually knocked sense into him,’ another wrote.

The clash between Usyk and Fury promises to be one of the biggest in memory.

Usyk will bring the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO titles while Fury holds the WBC heavyweight crown – and there will be a new ‘undisupted’ belt up for grabs.

They will meet in the ring as part of Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia to crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.

Fury has been chomping at the bit since the fight was postponed from its original date of February 17 after he suffered a nasty cut above his eye in training.

He has 34 wins – 24 via knockouts – and one draw on his ledger.

Meanwhile, Usyk has a perfect record of 21 wins and no defeats with 14 knockouts.

However, Anthony Joshua’s seamless triumph over Ngannou has caused some to question Fury’s credentials.

AJ floored Ngannou three times with a second-round knockout when they met earlier this month, while Fury hit the deck himself before only beating the former UFC champion on points last year.

Eddie Hearn has revealed that Joshua and Fury could sign a two-fight deal to finally face each other, with one of the bouts potentially taking place at Wembley Stadium.

A win for Fury over Usyk could set up a fight against Joshua, but fans have become concerned that the pair may not meet on British soil due to Saudi powerbroker Turki Alalshikh being able to offer boxers lucrative money to fight in the Middle East.

Eddie Hearn has revealed that Fury could clash with Anthony Joshua in the UK as part of a two-fight deal if he beats Usyk

However, Joshua’s promoter Hearn has raised hopes that his charge and Fury could meet in the UK, and even claimed that is something Alalshikh is exploring.

‘This is a gentleman called Turki Alalshikh, who is obviously a very influential figure in sports and entertainment in Saudi Arabia,’ Hearn said on The Sports Agents podcast.

‘He’s also the biggest fight fan I’ve ever met. And quite amazingly, he’s now talking about staging two Fury vs AJ fights – one in Saudi Arabia and one at Wembley Stadium.’

Oliver Bearman made his F1 debut at the Saudi Arabian GP two weeks ago and caught the attention of the entire paddock with his incredible P7 finish. Now, Riccardo Adami, who will be Lewis Hamilton’s race engineer at Ferrari next season, explains why Bearman’s debut was so special.

Bearman filled in for Carlos Sainz at short notice after the Spaniard got diagnosed with appendicitis. He took part in just one practice session before suiting up for qualifying, but still managed to finish P11. In the race, he made some brilliant moves to get 6 points for Ferrari on debut.

Adami, as reported by Junaid Samodien on X, told Scuderia Ferrari what surprised him the most about Bearman’s debut. “Many things, starting with zero preparation that we had, and the talent he showed in that weekend. How quick, and fast he was in understanding and executing the things that we discussed together beforehand.”

Adami also recalled a situation regarding the radio button. The Italian revealed that it got stuck during the race, but Bearman remembered how Adami told him about a second button on the steering wheel. His presence of mind ensured that Adami could still be in his ears during the race, and guide him through the memorable seventh-place finish in Jeddah.

While Bearman’s debut was impressive, it is unlikely he will get another shot at driving the SF-24, at least for now.

Carlos Sainz or Oliver Bearman: Who will race in Melbourne?

As of now, Ferrari haven’t made a statement regarding whether Sainz will return in Melbourne for the Australian GP. He was at the paddock in Jeddah, walking, just a day after his surgery, and reports suggest that his progress and rehabilitation has been optimal.

He is on the race poster too for Ferrari ahead of this weekend’s race. So, it seems to be clear that Ferrari is planning the weekend ahead with Sainz and Charles Leclerc as their driver.

Bearman, however, will be at Albert Park in Melbourne this weekend. The 18-year-old, who sits last in the F2 championship will be looking to redeem his season in the Land Down Under. However, if Sainz is deemed unfit to continue, Ferrari could call upon Bearman’s services once again.

Ever since Oliver Bearman showed his prowess in Saudi Arabia, he has been a hot topic of discussion in F1 forums. Some found Bearman’s debut so impressive that they speculated whether Ferrari would regret its decision to sign Lewis Hamilton for 2025. Certainly, the 18-year-old performed exceptionally well to outscore Hamilton in Jeddah, finishing 7th. However, French journalist Fred Ferret says that Frederic Vasseur won’t be sweating on signing up the seven-time champ ahead of Bearman.

On the F1 Nation podcast, Ferret defended Vasseur’s call about sealing Hamilton as a Ferrari driver for 2025. He said, “It’s not being rude to Ollie Bearman, not at all. When you have Lewis Hamilton, you don’t think about anything else. So if you have Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, it’s not being mistaken by forgetting Ollie Bearman.”

Ferret is a close friend of the Ferrari boss, so the host Tom Clarkson wanted his views on what Vasseur could be thinking after seeing Bearman in Jeddah. While the British prodigy has turned a lot of eyeballs after his incredible stand-in performance, the French boss knows what value Hamilton brings to the table.

Hamilton jumping ship to the Italian stable was arguably the biggest news of the year and shocked the F1 world to the core. He  himself mentioned that driving for Ferrari was a childhood dream for him and Vasseur’s presence as the team boss completed the puzzle for him. Hamilton and Vasseur go way back as they have worked with each other during his junior racing days.

Amid this closely-knit dynamic, Bearman is certainly a fresh face. He may have stirred the pot in terms of the available options in the driver market for 2025. However, Vasseur and Ferrari may not want to sideline Hamilton for the 18-year-old.

Is Ferrari betting wisely on Lewis Hamilton’s experience?

Lewis Hamilton shifting base to Ferrari, when many thought he may retire at Mercedes was shocking to many fans. Hamilton, one of F1’s greatest ever is joining arguably the most iconic F1 team but it is hard to not ignore the fact that he will be 40 years old when he joins.

Besides, even Ferrari has not been in the best position to fight for wins and championships. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko also commented on how the move surprised him, given the timing.

As per RacingNews365, Marko said, “You wonder how it could have happened. Mercedes was overtaken by Ferrari in the second half of the 2023 season and McLaren was also faster. Perhaps Hamilton has realized something that the outside world does not yet know”.

While the Italian team’s competitiveness may improve, Hamilton is certainly in the twilight of his career. So, can Ferrari get the best from the 39-year-old, who has not won a race in the last two years?

Add to this, Oliver Bearman’s stunning debut, and that puts the Maranello team in a fix. On one hand, they wish to retain the British prodigy, but can’t afford to give him a Ferrari seat.

There have been reports of Haas wanting Bearman’s services for 2025. Given Haas’s close working relationship with Ferrari, it could safeguard Bearman for a couple of years by giving him the deserved shot in F1. Even Haas boss Ayao Komatsu has mentioned that he is a fan of the 18-year-old and would want to consider signing him up.

The 2024 F1 season got underway earlier this month, and even though fans want to get into speculation and discussion surrounding who might win the title, it is evident that Max Verstappen is the clear favorite. Matt Bishop feels this prediction is unavoidable, and hailed the Dutchman in an exclusive interview with The SportsRush’s Tanish Chachra.

During his interview, Bishop was asked about his predictions for the upcoming season. Unsurprisingly, he sees Verstappen and Red Bull dominate. However, he considers this a boring premise.

“One of the predictions that is very boring but it’s hard to avoid is that Red Bull and Max Verstappen will be extraordinarily strong,” he said.

Bishop goes on to make another claim about the dynamic between the Red Bull drivers. According to him, “there is a huge gulf” between Verstappen and his teammate Sergio Perez. The 61-year-old notes that he worked with Perez (at McLaren) before and rates him highly as a driver. Still, Verstappen’s superiority is too big a gap for Perez to fill.

“[Verstappen] He is a brilliant driver. Not only brilliantly fast, but brilliantly complete. And he is a winning machine.”, added the Briton.

People wouldn’t talk about Red Bull because of Sergio Perez

Since 2022, Red Bull has been on the top of the F1 world, with Verstappen winning two world titles. They’ve also won both constructors’ titles, adding to the supremacy that no other team has come close to breaking. However, Perez alone could have never taken Red Bull this far.

Matt Bishop hypothetically says that two Sergio Perezs in the team would not make the world talk about Red Bull domination. There would be no complaints, and the field still be competitive. This fact just makes Verstappen’s seat at Red Bull more special, and he remains the firm favorite to decimate the rest of the field once again to become world champion with multiple races to spare.

A non-Red Bull driver that Bishop mentioned in this interview with Charles Leclerc. Of course, Ferrari’s limitations have made it difficult for Leclerc to think about race wins but in 2024, Bishop predicts them to develop a fast car over time.

Leclerc’s qualifying performances in particular have always drawn in a lot of praise and the 61-year-old sees him using that skill to compete for race wins later this year.

Despite securing the seat at Visa Cash App RB ahead of Liam Lawson for the 2024 season, Daniel Ricciardo has arguably failed to prove his worth. The Australian driver is far from his prime and is yet to justify his place in F1 at the moment. Since the 34-year-old’s performances have been below par recently, F1 expert Fred Ferret has made a shocking prediction. Ferret from French media L’Equipe believes that Ricciardo‘s failure to rediscover his form and be consistent might lead him to retirement.

When asked to predict Ricciardo’s future if the Australian fails to improve, Ferret replied on the most recent episode of the F1 Nation podcast, “Retirement.” Following this, Ferret added, “If he’s (Ricciardo) still on his way of driving like he did in the last two races, I’d say yes [Ricciardo’s retirement].”

Tsunoda and Ricciardo barely had any pace difference in 2023. However, things changed in 2024 as the Honey Badger is struggling to keep up with his Japanese teammate.

In Bahrain, Tsunoda qualified in P11, whereas Ricciardo in P14. The same story followed in Saudi Arabia as well since Tsunoda entered Q3 and qualified in P9. In stark contrast, Ricciardo could only manage P14 again.

Now, since the next race is in Australia, Ricciardo would be under huge pressure to deliver in front of his home fans. Things get trickier for him as the race after Australia takes place in Japan, which is Tsunoda’s home Grand Prix.

The pressure on Ricciardo is likely to be very high as his goal is to return to Red Bull, but his recent performances do not seem to warrant him a spot at the Milton Keynes-based outfit. Alongside Ricciardo, Tsunoda will also be hoping for the same goal, having driven for Red Bull’s sister team for four years now.

How is the fight between Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo panning out?

In 2024, both Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo have begun their season on the back foot. Despite having the potential, both drivers are still to score their first points after two races, majorly due to their slow challenger.

Moreover, tensions also seem to be high at the Visa Cash App RB outfit. One of the main talking points of the Bahrain Grand Prix was the argument between Ricciardo and Tsunoda over team orders. RB had asked Tsunoda to let Ricciardo through to overtake Kevin Magnussen in search of a point finish.

However, the 23-year-old declined initially. Even though Tsunoda eventually let Ricciardo through, it was already very late by then. This put both of them at a disadvantage as none of them managed to score a point.

On the other hand, Sergio Perez, whose seat Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda have been eyeing, is performing decently. The Mexican has so far had two second-place finishes behind Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen. If Perez can keep this up till the end of the season, Red Bull is likely to retain him even for 2025.

Ex-Ferrari engineer Rob Smedley expects Lewis Hamilton to give the Maranello-based outfit that final push in their fight against an already vulnerable Red Bull. The Milton-Keynes-based team has been dominating the sport since 2022 and despite looking like the favorites to win the championship this year too, Smedley believes that his ex-employers are closer to Red Bull than before. Hamilton, who joins Ferrari in 2025, could make the difference when it counts.

Speaking on the Formula for Success podcast, Smedley said, “Ok, Red Bull have focused on 2024. But if you look at the gap to Ferrari, especially in qualifying in Bahrain, they are right there. I think someone like Lewis can give Ferrari an extra percentage point or two: that’s all they need.”

Ferrari have been the second-best team so far this season. Red Bull secured two 1-2 finishes in the opening round, but Ferrari don’t look too far behind in a single lap pace as Smedley pointed out. Races haven’t been too bad either, with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc getting a third placed finish each. Still, Smedley feels that Hamilton can make that extra jump that the team needs.

Ferrari seems to agree with Smedley in his assessment of Hamilton’s potential impact. The contract that Ferrari agreed to while signing Hamilton is worth north of $400 million, and gives the Briton an opportunity to collaborate with Ferrari on his 0ff-track ventures.

The mood in Maranello is generally optimistic given how they expect to do well under the latest engine regulations slated for the 2026 season onwards. While Lewis Hamilton will most definitely want to maximize the result for the team on-track, his signing has an equally great significance for Ferrari; as a Formula 1 team and a global brand.

Ferrari gets ready to win with Lewis Hamilton; on and off the track

As per GPBlog.com, Ferrari is going to pay Hamilton upwards of $100 million in terms of just salary. This would make him the highest-paid F1 driver in the history. What’s more, on top of that hefty pay-check, Ferrari chairman John Elkann has pledged a total sum of $400 million into the Briton’s on-track and off-track endeavors such as Mission44.

Hamilton is arguably one of the most recognized and marketable athletes in the world and his influence has already started paying massive dividends for the team. For instance as soon as the 39-year-old’s deal was announced, Ferrari’s market cap increased by $7 billion, as per Motorsport.

Ferrari came to Hamilton with more than just a blank cheque. While Mercedes denied him a shot at an ambassadorial role that could have seen him transition into a global icon for the team after his retirement, Ferrari were willing to offer him the same while also axing Carlos Sainz – the only driver to win a race for them last year.

There has been a lot of internal turbulence at Red Bull for almost all of 2024. The unsettled atmosphere has made life difficult for key figures such as Max Verstappen and Adrian Newey, who want nothing to do with the off-track antics. Formu1a.uno reports that they might soon be heading out of the team, should there be a massive change in the Aston Martin management structure.

Saudi Arabian Oil Group (Aramco) is getting increasingly interested in buying Aston Martin from Lawrence Stroll as per reports. In 2020, speculations arose that the group wanted to acquire the rights of F1 from Liberty Media. Ultimately, it did not happen. Instead, they became Aston Martin’s title sponsors. Seeing the massive growth of the sport in the last four years, Aramco now wants a bigger piece of the pie.

Should the takeover happen, Aramco will be eyeing a massive overhaul of the team. Most importantly, they will try to bring in two of the biggest names in F1. Three-time world champion Max Verstappen and Engineering genius Adrian Newey are both on Aramco’s radar. Aramco is the biggest company in the world in terms of market cap, meaning they shouldn’t face financial difficulties in securing the move. Furthermore, since the cost cap excludes drivers’ and the three most senior personnel’s salaries, Aramco could even offer blank checks for them to fill.

Saudi interest continues to grow in F1 at a rapid pace. Much of it was visible in Jeddah. Hence, there is little doubt about the country’s commitment to the sport. Given Aramco is a state-controlled company, a shortage of funding should hardly arise. Given the same, the coming months could see a massive overhaul in F1 structure, especially if Red Bull’s off-track woes continue.

2026 could be key in deciding the future of Max Verstappen and Adrian Newey

As Red Bull continues to dominate the rest of the grid under the current regulations, anticipation grows stronger for 2026. With a major regulation change, the playing field should once again be level. Every team will start from the same point and build accordingly, giving most of them a chance to make a push for the championship.

Furthermore, Aston Martin will move away from their partnership with Mercedes. Instead, they will source their engines from Honda, who currently provide engines to Red Bull. This forthcoming alliance could also boost Aston Martin’s chances of signing Verstappen.

Verstappen is very familiar with the prowess of a Honda engine. Most of his wins and all of his championships have come while driving a car powered by them. Hence, he might be inclined to join a team that has Honda engines, which won’t be the case at Red Bull as 2026 will see them switch to engines made in-house without any backup supplier.

Should Aramco take over Aston Martin, chances are high that the tides will turn their way. A revamped management structure and a potentially new driver lineup could make them top contenders for the championship from 2026 onwards.

Max Verstappen’s home Grand Prix is on the verge of achieving a unique accomplishment. It shall soon become the venue where race attendees leave 0% net carbon footprint, thanks to eco-friendly travel. Per an update on X by Vincenzo Landino, the race organizers and attendees are nearly there, with 98% of people already opting for eco-friendly travel practices.

The organizers of the Dutch GP have laid out a meticulous mobility plan for the people attending the race. They have created ‘Park and Bike’ locations for people to use bikes to reach the race venue. Furthermore, a lot of emphasis is laid on walking and using public transport. Moreover, they want to keep as many cars out of Zandvoort as possible so that they don’t have to cut down trees to make more space for parking cars. Organizers aim to achieve a 100% net zero carbon footprint by 2025.

The 2% of attendees that left a carbon footprint included F1 teams, media personnel, and other staff. These people arrived in their personal cars, further highlighting the massive steps taken by the event organizers to ensure the race remains as eco-friendly as possible.

The official website of the Dutch GP quoted the words of Race Director Robert van Overdijk as he gave insights into the event’s achievements. He said that they implemented a ‘smart grid’ where they bundled generators to cope with peak demand and reduce fuel usage. Furthermore, they use HVO100 Fuel to save an additional 82.5% on their carbon footprint.

Five pillars that make Max Verstappen’s home race eco-friendly

The organization of the Dutch GP is in the hands of three different organizers, including the municipality of Zandvoort. They are highly experienced in organizing eco-friendly sports events and have multiple big-name events linked with them. These include the FIH Hockey World Cup, FIVB Volleyball Championship, European Athletics Championship, KLM Open, and others.

Sustainability remains a core aspect of the Dutch GP’s organizers. In a conscious effort to combine speed and sustainability, the event’s organizers are going beyond the spectacle of racing to ensure they remain as environment-friendly as they can.

Five additional pillars help the organizers remain committed and on track to achieve sustainability. The first is the Nature & Recycling element, which aims to eliminate all plastic waste. Next comes the energy pillar. Here, the organizers’ goal is to reduce 95% of emissions from the energy supply.

Third is ‘F1 for everyone,’ which aims to come up with locations for people with disabilities to enjoy F1 from the best spot on the circuit. Then comes the Economic impact. This aims at reducing transport movement. Finally, the new initiatives by the organizers to commission hydrogen generators, solar panels, and additional water points.

Anthony Davidson, who is Mercedes’ simulator driver revealed a key difference between himself and F1 drivers when they get behind the virtual wheel. According to Davidson, F1 drivers focus on their driving style in adherence to the car’s setup and potential. Simulator drivers like himself, however, focus on only one thing- the development of the car.

Simulator drivers play a key role behind the scenes. The work they put in helps engineers of a particular team understand where their car stands (performance-wise) at a given point in time. Hence, the data they send back directly shapes up the real-life car F1 drivers drive.

In the Sky Sports F1 podcast, Davidson told Matt Baker, “It’s all about the lap times. They come in to gain knowledge for their own performance. And rightly so. When I go there, it’s 100% for the team. I put my ego outside when I go into the sim room.”

Davidson regards F1 drivers as competitive beasts. Within the Mercedes camp itself, the amount of competition between drivers is very high. While Lewis Hamilton is a seven-time world champion, his teammate, George Russell has been earmarked as champion of the future.

This tussle between the drivers in terms of guiding the set-up and development of the car towards their own needs has on more than one occasion been a pain point for Mercedes in the recent past.

How Lewis Hamilton’s Bahrain experiment failed Mercedes

Hamilton and Russell may be cordial as teammates, but they are both incredibly competitive. For instance, during the Bahrain GP, to finish ahead of Russell on the weekend, the 39-year-old revealed that he had decided to run a different set-up to his teammate’s.

In the end, however, the Briton lamented the decision. Hamilton argued that he wanted to sacrifice single-lap pace for a better shot at the Grand Prix and hence, he sacrificed his qualifying pace. In the end, however, Hamilton finished 7th, five seconds behind Russell.

Advertisement

Last year too, Mercedes faced a lot of difficulties because Hamilton and Russell wanted to try different things to get the better of one another. Hamilton even admitted that his set-up choices were rarely slower than his teammate’s.

That being said, as Anthony Davidson explained, a team’s development can only be seamless when there is unbiased feedback coming the way of engineers. When conflicting feedback is received from the drivers, the team is unable to maximize the performance of the car throughout a season.

Lewis Hamilton has been more than just an F1 racing star, having captivated the world with his interest and love for fashion. British Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour too, has taken notice of Hamilton’s dressing style. In fact, she bestowed him with a very high honor, as fans pray for the seven-time world champion’s appearance at the Met Gala.

At the British Vogue’s film and fashion party earlier this year, Wintour answered a thought-provoking question. The interviewer asked her who the most stylish athlete in the world was. Wintour took soccer sensation Kylian Mbappe’s name first, but Hamilton was the very next person on her list.

The 74-year-old also mentioned Roger Federer and Serena Williams, two of the most famous tennis players of all time. However, when it comes to F1, no has revolutionized fashion as much as Hamilton. On-track, he has been flashy and bold with his choice of clothing. Meanwhile, he continues to work in fashion away from Formula 1 too.

In 2021, Hamilton attended the Met Gala in New York. There, he bought an entire table for himself and young black fashion designers, who couldn’t have afforded attending the event themselves. As this year’s Met Gala approaches, Hamilton’s presence will once again be awaited.

Twitter F1 fans await Lewis Hamilton’s appearance at Met Gala

Lewis Hamilton’s professional commitments have prevented him from attending the Met Gala for the past two years. That being said, this year’s Gala will be held in New York on May 6. The event will honor Sleeping Beauties, the Costume Institute’s newest show.

When F1 fans learnt about this, they realized the don’t want to miss how Hamilton creates a distinctive style of his own with the occasion in mind. A huge portion of the fanbase took to X (formerly Twitter) to demand the presence o their beloved driver at the Met Gala.

Another thing fans are looking forward to witnessing is Hamilton’s reunion with Anna Wintour. Wintour, who thinks Hamilton is one of the most stylish athletes in the world, was also spotted with him back in 2018 at the Wimbledon Championships. Given Wintour’s stature in the world of fashion, it is almost a given that she will be in New York for the Gala.

Fortunately for fans, Hamilton will be in the US during this year’s Met Gala. The Miami GP weekend kicks off on 3rd May, and the race is on 5th. Whether he makes it to New York for the even on the very next day or not, remains to be seen.
