Fans are concerned about Tyson Fury’s condition heading into his upcoming clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury is set to square off against the Ukranian fighter on May 18 in Saudi Arabia in the first undisputed heavyweight showdown of the four-belt era.
The fight was initially proposed to take place on February 17 but the bout was pushed back after Fury suffered a cut in one of his final sparring sessions.
After a short break, Fury is now back in the gym preparing for the four-belt shootout and recently released some training footage on social media.
‘The Gypsy King’ uploaded a clip of him being put through his paces in a gruelling conditioning session that included sledge pushes and jump squats
One supporter wrote: “Oh c*** he looks awful. Please let him beat Usyk.”
Another tweeted: “That is genuinely some of the least impressive jumping up and down I’ve ever seen.”
A third added: “Tyson Fury is not ready for Usyk yet and he’ll get exposed in the ring.”
The Aussie’s camp later came out and denied those claims but Johnny Nelson remained insistent that he had heard rumours of Fury being ‘turned over’ in the gym.
Speaking to Spencer Oliver on talkBOXING, Nelson said: “I’m hearing rumours of what’s happening in camp – I’m hearing that he’s getting turned over in the gym
So this thing about appetite when he’s in the gym, I mean, he got shown his a***.
“I’m hearing these things and I’m thinking has he taken his eye off the ball, or has time caught up with him?”
In his most recent outing, Fury struggled immensely against Francis Ngannou as he eked out a narrow split decision last October.
There were no such issues for fierce rival Anthony Joshua on Friday night as he dispatched the Cameroonian MMA star inside two rounds.
