'The Gypsy King' will be looking to avenge his defeat to the Ukrainian, but fans have been left concerned by the Brit's physique ahead of the sequel
Boxing fans have been left worried after Tyson Fury showed off his physique ahead of his heavyweight rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
After securing a split-decision victory in Saudi Arabia, Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis back in 1999. Ahead of the sequel, it appears as if Fury is going to make a significant change in his approach. According to talkSPORT boxing pundit Gareth A Davies, 'The Gypsy King' is aiming to come in around the 19 stone 7lbs mark - which is almost a stone heavier than he was for their first fight .
In a recent post uploaded to Instagram, Fury showed off his training regime, captioning the post: "Working my a** off to regain the championship." Despite appearing to look confident and chomping at the bit to get back in the ring, many fans have been left worried by the picture. The 36-year-old has made it very clear of his intentions for the rematch. Fury recently revealed that he will be looking to knock his heavyweight rival out and not leave his fate in the hands of the judges. “I’m going to go in there with destroy mode,” Fury said in an interview with Undisputed. “Last time I went to box him, I was being cautious… Anybody can get caught as we have seen in a lot of these heavyweight fights.
