‘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.

Fury, 35, sat down with Charlie Parsons and had a candid response when asked about his prediction for the upcoming fight. Not only did Usyk have a little experience at heavyweight, but he also hadn’t impressed Fury with his outings to the square circle. Fury said, “He’s only had two or three fights at heavyweight. And to be honest, I haven’t been that impressed with him.”

He [Oleksandr Usyk] does what he’s got to do; he has got his wins, been paid. He gets the job done, and he goes home. So that’s what it is about,” Fury continued.

Tyson Fury’s father, John, has shut down ‘rubbish’ claims that Paris Fury caused the boxing star’s eye injury.

Fury had been due to fight Oleksandr Usyk earlier this month but, after sustaining a deep gash to his eye, their bout has now been pushed back.

Usyk’s manager, Egis Klimas, then dubbed the 35-year-old a ‘coward’ and suggested his wife, Paris, had hit him with a frying pan to cause the delay.

Fury has already dismissed those claims, insisting they categorically aren’t true.

And his father John, speaking to Free Bets, has now responded by dubbing the rumours ‘absolute rubbish’.

“I’m surprised that men of their experience at the top level, being around top fighters can even talk like that,” he said.

“It’s absolute rubbish, it’s silly and they are just making themselves look stupid.

“They’re embarrassing themselves with those kinds of accusations. They’re worried, they’ve always been worried. When they’ve seen the shape Tyson’s in, they’ve thought, ‘hang on, we’ve dropped a clanger here’. They thought they’d see a Tyson who hasn’t trained.

“But you know what, that’s where you can get caught out, thinking you know too much.

Oleksandr Usyk has a ‘secret’ part in his fight deal that says he’ll box Filip Hrgovic on May 18 if Tyson Fury pulls out again.

The big fight between Fury and Usyk was meant to happen tonight in Saudi Arabia, but Fury had to stop training two weeks ago because he got a cut while sparring. The match, which will decide the first undisputed heavyweight champ since Lennox Lewis in 1999, was quickly moved to May 18.

If one of them can’t make the new date, they have to pay the other $10million from their fight contract. Usyk also made sure that if Fury doesn’t show up, he will fight the next boxer in line, Hrgovic.

Usyk’s coach Sergey Lapin spoke to Fruity Slots: “I hope Usyk will get the chance to settle the score with Fury on May 18, but if he continues to run, then we have a clause in the agreement to replace Fury with Filip Hrgovic,” and “Hrgovic is the back-up opponent, so the show will go on regardless of whether he shows up, this was also confirmed by His Excellency Turki Al Sheikh.”

Usyk has been ready for Fury since he beat Daniel Dubois last August in Poland. They almost fought on December 23, but after Fury nearly lost to Francis Ngannou last October, he needed more time.

World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is reportedly eyeing a move to a luxury mansion on an offshore tax haven.

Fury currently lives in his hometown of Morecambe, but is considering a change of scenery and went to view a potential new home before Christmas.

The 34-year-old is interested in renting a place with his wife Paris and their seven children, and went via helicopter to look at a £10,000-a-month mansion last year, according to The Mirror.

The mansion known as Billown Manor is located on the Isle of Man, and has six double ensuite bedrooms, two self-contained two-bedroom flats, a swimming pool, gym and tennis court.

An estate agent’s listing hails Billown Manor as: ‘One of the Isle of Man’s most exclusive period homes. Beautifully appointed, extremely private and set in a manicured parkland and lakeside setting.’

It could also be an attractive prospect for Fury due to the Isle of Man’s generous tax breaks for the super-rich.

Residents do not have to pay wealth taxes, capital gains taxes or estate taxes, and only have to pay 20 per cent for personal income tax.

They can also have their annual tax bill capped at £200,000 if they sign a five or 10-year deal to stay on the island.

However, in order to qualify for residency, they must live on the island for at least six months of the year.

Should Fury pen a long-term deal, he would only be paying a small fraction of his estimated wealth – believed to be around £50m – in taxes.

Tyson Fury has responded to the conspiracy theories that have circulating about his undisputed fight against Oleksandr Usyk.

WBC heavyweight champion Fury was originally scheduled to fight Usyk this weekend for all four belts in Saudi Arabia but stepped back after suffering an injury to his right eye during a training session. The fight has been rescheduled for May 18 and will crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

Rumours suggested that Fury had struggled during his training camp ahead of the cancelled bout. However, both Fury and his manager Spencer Brown have rubished these claims.

“It boggles belief, we were looking at some of it laughing our heads off. These conspiracy theories, it was actually very funny,” Brown told iFL TV. “Old Johnny Nelson, he’s got a ‘mole’ in our camp. We’ve been digging holes everywhere because there’s a mole here somewhere.”

“Look, whoever was grassing couldn’t have been a very good grass because he got it all wrong. Jai Opetaia knocking Tyson out? It’s like Mount Vesuvius falling down one afternoon,” Brown added.

“It didn’t happen, it didn’t get anywhere near happening. Tyson was on fire. Of course there’s somebody [talking about what was going on in camp], I don’t think it’s malicious, bit of pillow talk, few white lies going about, few misconceptions. I don’t think there’s any grass.”

While recovering from his injury, Fury has adressed claims that he is set to retire by detailing a potential plan for his next five fights, which would also include a rematch with Francis Ngannou.
