Fans are about Tyson Fury’s physical makeover before his undisputed bout with Oleksandr Usyk.
With his figҺt against the Ukrainian less than two months away, the Gypsy King seems as ripped as ever.
On May 18, the heavyweight division will attempt to choose a single champion for the first time in twenty-four years, with a rumored £100 million prize pool up for grabs.
Boxing fans think Fury is treating Usyk with much more seriousness after he survived a close decision against Francis Ngannou after being knocked down.
According to Fury’s longtime sparring partner Martin Bakole, who told IFL TV that Fury wasn’t fully focused in the gym, Fury didn’t properly prepare for his bout with Ngannou.

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

Fury started his dedicated training camp for the Usyk figҺt earlier this week
Many think Fury didn’t prepare for the Ngannou figҺt 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
Another person said, “Tyson Fury over here looking like The Rock.”
One person commented, “It’s obvious he didn’t take Ngannou seriously,” upon witnessing his transformation.
Another person commented, “Ngannou actually knocked sense into him.” One of the biggest fights in history is expected to occur between Usyk and Fury.
While Fury owns the WBC heavyweight title, Usyk will bring the WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO titles to the figҺt, and there will be a new “undisupted” belt up for grabs.
As part of Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Season, they will square off in the ring to determine who will become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.
Since the figҺt was rescheduled from its scheduled February 17 date due to Fury’s terrible cut above his eye during training, he has been biting his lip.
His record reads 34 wins, 24 of which were via knockout, and 1 draw.
Usyk, meanwhile, has a flawless record with 21 victories, 0 losses, and 14 knockouts.
But others have questioned Fury’s credentials in light of Anthony Joshua’s easy victory against Ngannou.
When they faced off earlier this month, AJ stopped Ngannou three times via second-round knockout, while Fury was knocked down by the former UFC champion before defeating him on points the previous year.
According to Eddie Hearn, Joshua and Fury may agree to a two-figҺt contract to eventually square off against one another, with a possible Wembley Stadium match.
A victory by Fury against Usyk might lead to a matchup with Joshua; however, supporters are worried that the figҺt might not take place in the United Kingdom since Saudi powerbroker Turki Alalshikh can pay fighters a lot of money to compete in the Middle East.
If Fury defeats Usyk, Eddie Hearn has disclosed that he may face Anthony Joshua in the UK as part of a two-figҺt agreement.
Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, has expressed optimism that his client and Fury may meet in the UK and even stated that Alalshikh is looking into the possibility.
Hearn stated on The Sports Agents podcast, “This is a gentleman named Turki Alalshikh, who is obviously a very influential figure in sports and entertainment in Saudi Arabia.”
He’s the biggest figҺt enthusiast I’ve ever encountered, too. Amazingly, he’s now discussing holding two fights between Fury and AJ: one in Saudi Arabia and one at Wembley Stadium.
