‘The Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury is looking to make a comeback to the ring in February or March. Although he has not revealed who he is fighting next, Tyson Fury has reiterated multiple times that he will fight early this year, no matter what. It looks like he is serious about this as he has commenced his training.

Fury gave his fans an insight into his training via Instagram stories. “Good Morning World! Get up there. Another run done, me and Joe Parker this morning in the icy cold weather. Everything’s going well, getting stronger and fitter and slimmer by the day. Big up.”

For the trilogy fight against Wilder, Fury knew he had to pack on the pounds to be able to deal more damage. Hence, he bulked up and fought at the heaviest weight of his career.

Now, if Fury is planning to slim down, he may be looking to fight a smaller opponent or someone against whom it would behoove him to be light and fast. Could he be preparing to take on Oleksandr Usyk?

“He’s extremely stubborn…He’s fought big guys and beaten them before. You’ve also got to think this is the best time for Usyk to fight Fury. Fury isn’t fast no more, he doesn’t have reflexes like he used to,” Scott said to BoxingScene.
