Fans are in shock about Tyson Fury’s physical makeover before his undisputed bout with Oleksandr Usyk.
With his fight 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.

‘Was he messing around trying to trick me?’ Usyk asked, implying that Fury wasn’t serious about the match.
But Fury seems to have increased the tempo of his preparation, as seen by a video he uploaded over the weekend in which he vowed to “f***ing batter” his opponent who has never lost.
