Tyson Fury is one of the most accomplished and loved heavyweight boxers of all time. From the old era, fans perceived heavyweight fighters as ones with impressive chiseled physiques. However, Tyson Fury completely changed that notion, as he never really boasted a solid physique. ‘The Gypsy King’ always relied on his boxing skills, movements, punching variations, and stamina to win fights.

Recently, the WBC champion took to Instagram and addressed concerns about his 2022 physical frame on a story.

He wrote, “I dont remember ever looking in shape!”

Earlier this week, a video surfaced on the internet, wherein Fury was seen in a sparring session with fellow heavyweight Joseph Parker. Both the men traded some solid body shots in the video. Later, ‘The Gypsy King’s physique sparked major concern among the fans.

The WBC heavyweight champ last fought Deontay Wilder in an entertaining trilogy. Both the men dropped each other multiple times, showing off their unimaginable power to one and all. Fury was the favorite to win, but ‘The Bronze Bomber’ didn’t go down easily.

In round 11, Fury finally emerged victorious as he struck Wilder with an electrifying right hook and proved that physique and muscles alone don’t win you a fight.
