Frank Warren suggests Tyson Fury is in best shape of his career as he arrives in Saudi Arabia for Oleksandr Usyk fight

Frank Warren is confident Tyson Fury is in the best place possible to beat Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury touched down in Saudi Arabia this week ahead of his undisputed showdown with Usyk on May 18, as he looks to make history and become the first undisputed world champion in the four-belt era.

The ‘Gypsy King’ has looked in remarkable shape during his training camp, having made a significant transformation since his narrow win over Francis Ngannou in October 2023.

And Warren, Fury’s promoter, believes he is in the shape of his life and is ready to become a history-maker yet again.

He said during an interview on talkSPORT Fight Night: “He’s in tremendous shape not just physically but mentally.

“I’m confident we are going to get a vintage performance, I spoke to him during the week.

“He’s in a very good shape I think, and although he had that cut it has come good as he has had back-to-back camps.

“Physically I have never seen him look so well. The worry was going straight into a training camp was that he’d peak too soon.

“He has worked really hard so that he is in his best nick on May 18.

“I just feel he is going to put on a magnificent performance and stop Usyk.”

Images emerged of Fury touching down in Riyadh, where he will undertake his final preparations for the showdown.

The WBC champion was not in his best condition to face Ngannou, and the ex-UFC champion even mocked him for exactly that during a face-off.

But there has been a significant overhaul to his training, even after missing out on his original February date with Usyk after suffering a cut in sparring.

Fury’s nutritionist Greg Marriott believes his diet and training have helped him get in a position to be the best version of himself yet.

He told Mens Health: “I do believe that he probably feels like everything’s placed perfectly now.

“I think for this fight, he just thought ‘I just want to get back to looking great’, and with that comes feeling great too, and being able to do the rounds.

‘He’s happier knowing that he’s already in amazing shape now. He doesn’t have to think about getting weight off anymore.

“We’ve already done that. I’ve already got him the weight off and to be fair, [the rescheduled fight] is a bit of blessing in disguise.”
