The Gypsy King will be hoping to win his upcoming bout on February 17

Tyson Fury has given boxing fans a first glimpse of his training camp ahead of his bout with Oleksandr Usyk next month.

The duo are both preparing for their fight, which is due to take place in Saudi Arabia on February 17.


Fury has kept a low profile of late, with the 35-year-old working hard behind the scenes to boost his chances of glory.

And the boxing star has now finally given fans a glimpse of his camp.

Fury took to Instagram on Saturday afternoon, sharing a clip of himself and his team training at the gym.

They sang alone to Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline', with Fury lying down on a mat.

He then posted images from Friday night's Joy Awards in Riyadh, with the veteran sporting a colourful suit for the fancy bash.

And Fury also uploaded an image of himself meeting Hollywood icon Kevin Costner.

Fury looked delighted at meeting the 69-year-old, who has appeared in titles such as Field of Dreams, Bull Durham and The Untouchables over the years.

The Briton has been keeping updates to a minimum.

Yet Fury appears to be in great shape as his lucrative clash with Usyk creeps closer.

Fury has claimed he's confident of coming out on top, despite labouring during his narrow win over Francis Ngannou at the end of October.

He previously said: "It’s going to be one of the fights for the ages.

“I believe we are both destined to be here and to be in this big fight in Saudi Arabia.

"And there’s only one winner, and I am destined to become the undisputed champion.

“More than that, I am destined to cement my legacy as the No. 1 fighter in this era.

"To do that I have to beat this little man and that’s it, simple as.

“Easier said than done I understand, he’s a tricky man, good boxer, slick.

"But I have seen many people like him before and when they fight the big men they struggle.

“He’s going to struggle on February 17 and he’s going to lose, I will break him for sure.”

Usyk, meanwhile, said in December it was a case of 'when' he beats Fury - instead of 'if'.

"Firstly, it's not 'if' I win but 'when' I win," Usyk said.

"When I go to sleep I imagine myself boxing, then my hand raised high. I simply believe that I can win."

And Usyk also responded to Fury calling him a 'rabbit', too.

"I got into his head and now instead of me, he thinks about a rabbit. Keep thinking, brother," he said.

"I have listened to Eminem for many years, his mum used to call him a white rabbit. I don't know, I like this rapper.

"Tony Bellew once said that I am a beast in boxing, I said: 'Not really, I'm just a white rabbit.'"
