Tyson Fury is in the shape of his life ahead of his upcoming clash with Oleksandr Usyk.

‘The Gypsy King’ has always carried a bit of extra timber around his midriff during his fighting career.

But with just under two months until his four-belt shootout with Usyk, the lineal heavyweight champion looks ripped.

Fury’s nutritionist, Greg Marriott, recently posted a picture of Fury with his top off and fans can’t believe how lean he looks.

One fan wrote: “He’s never looked so ripped.”

Another tweeted: “Tyson looks hungrier than ever to prove himself after that Ngannou fight. We’re about to see another historic Fury performance.”

A third added: “Bro trying to get an 8 pack for Usyk.”

The Mancunian’s current physique is a far cry away from how he looked before his last outing against Francis Ngannou five months ago.

Fury scraped a split-decision win against the Cameroonian MMA star in one of his worst performances to date.

The overriding narrative coming out of the fight was that Fury hadn’t taken Ngannou seriously.

His father, John, insisted he hadn’t trained properly for the bout and took aim at his son’s poor physical condition.

But Fury won’t be making the same mistakes against Usyk.

He looks to be firing on all cylinders in his recent pad work and is leaving no stone unturned in training as he bids to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.

“[I’m] Very fit. I have got nine weeks to go so you can ask me in nine weeks if I am fit and ready,” said Fury last week.

“I have just started camp, literally a few days ago so yeah I will be fit and ready by the time the fight comes, for sure.”

The heavyweight titans will do battle on May 18 in Saudi Arabia after their fight, which was initially proposed to take place in February, was pushed back due to Fury sustaining a cut in sparring.

Turki Alalshikh (chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, who are staging the fight) has confirmed that $10million [£8m] will be taken from either fighter’s purse should they pull out ahead of May.
