A few days ago, Tyson Fury released a video on social media, wherein he was enjoying at a beach with his family. This video became the talk of the town as the ‘Gypsy King’ looked massively out of shape. Many fans got worried because, in a few months from now, Fury will step inside the ring for the undisputed heavyweight title fight.

However, the Matchroom head, Eddie Hearn, revealed that Fury’s recent shape hasn’t stunned Anthony Joshua at all.

In a conversation with SecondsOut, Hearn said, “I said to ‘AJ’ the other day, ‘You see Fury jumping in the sea, (he) looked like me’. The response from ‘AJ’ was, ‘We’re going to get the best Tyson Fury. So, I don’t care if he’s carrying a little bit of weight now, I’m training for the best ever Tyson Fury.”

‘AJ’ is pretty sure that as the fight between him and Fury inches closer, the latter will transform himself into the man who beat the likes of Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder. Hence, he won’t budge an inch from his goal and prepare for the best version of Tyson Fury.

Even Eddie Hearn sponsored Joshua’s notions as he affirmed the fight still has a substantial time to come to life.
