Tyson Fury has already stepped back into the ring as he steps up his preparations to fight Oleksandr Usyk.

Tyson Fury has got fans excited about the shape he's already in with more than two months until his fight against Oleksandr Usyk after sharing a video of himself shadow boxing inside a ring on Instagram.

The Gypsy King took some time off after a cut over his eye forced the original fight against Usyk to be postponed.


But he's now back in training camp with an eye on getting in the best shape possible for the May 18 date.

Fury shared a short clip of himself back inside the ring on social media where a camera followed him around shadow boxing.

Another person wrote: "the best shape you ever had. Legend."

A third message read: "Looking slim and very agile, GET UP!!"

One other person replied: "Man looking in top shape."

Another said: "Big man’s in shape for this one."

Fury also spoke to The Stomping Ground at the weekend where the cut over his eye appeared to have healed significantly.

Concerns have been raised that the May 18 date isn't enough time for the cut to completely heal, but Fury isn't worried if it opens up.

“It’s already healed now, actually,” he said.

“A cut takes about eight weeks to heal.

“I had 15 weeks from cut to fight date so plenty of time. I’m not worried about the cut.

He added: “In the game, s**t happens.

“It won’t be the first and it won’t be the last time a fight has been cancelled with an injury. It is what it is.

“At first I was a little bit p****d off because it didn’t look like it was going to happen and we didn’t have a date.

“As soon as I got the date two days later it was fantastic. Everything’s good.”
