Was Tyson Fury Ripped in 2012?

Out of all the elite heavyweights of the modern era, Tyson Fury holds a supreme weight to his name. He is rightly regarded as the king of the big division. Fury was an out-of-the-box pugilist from the very beginning of his boxing run. However, after his 2018 return, his fanbase has increased.

Fans love to see ripped heavyweight fighters smothering their opponents with prolific power punches, but Fury doesn’t exhibit the best physique on the roster. However, his power and ring IQ is one to watch for.

Many fans think Fury was out of shape from the initial years of his career. However, things weren’t the same back then. Fury debuted in the sport in 2008. He was lean and ripped per the 2012 photo that he shared on his Instagram story.

Fury was in his best physical and mental state back then. He also moved ahead to secure one of the biggest wins of his career in 2015 against Wladimir Klitschko. After that, Fury entered into depression and put on a lot of weight.

Despite not being ripped, he carries his physique well and moves in a manner that ripped fighters may not be able to match.
