Tyson Fury showed off his ripped physique ahead of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk, who also gave fans a glimpse of his condition.
The Undisputed Heavyweight Championship takes place on May 18. The winner becomes the first undisputed champion since 1999, when Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield. The Gypsy King faces major questions over his form. His last fight with Francis Ngannou was much tougher than expected. He was dropped by the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, who was making his debut.
While Fury scraped through with a decision win, there were questions over his form. Fury may have overlooked Ngannou, which is why he was so sluggish. There is also the perception that his legs have slowed down. Fury has also pulled out of the Usyk fight twice, the latest after getting cut over his right eye in sparring. This time around, Fury appears to have left no stone unturned. The following images show the heavyweight showing his abs.
Fury’s Physique
The picture shows Fury is taking the training seriously, which is vital to beat the undefeated Usyk. It also gives fans an insight into Fury’s tactics. He appears lighter than usual, which may signal a departure from his front-foot fighting style. The Gypsy King has become an aggressive fighter since teaming up with SugarHill Steward.
Usyk’s Physique
But Lennox Lewis and Frank Warren warned Usyk about the challenge he was facing.
“Tyson Fury’s not no easy fight for anybody. He’s elusive, he moves well, he boxes from both sides. For any boxer it’s gonna take a while to figure out. “Also, the height difference is a problem, 6ft 9ins, it’s not an easy fight for anybody.And he [Usyk] is not gonna get the fat Tyson Fury, he’s gonna get the focused guy. The guy that don’t have a belly, don’t have love handles, is ready, focused and willing,” Lewis said
“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,” Warren stated
Nevertheless, Usyk is known for keeping himself disciplined between camps, something Fury has failed to do throughout his career. While he has managed to still put on great performances, there are questions over whether it will work against Usyk.
