TYSON FURY’S conditioning coach has revealed just how well the Gypsy King looked before being forced out of fighting Oleksandr Usyk.

The pair of unbeaten champions were due to collide in the first ever four-belt heavyweight unification on February 17 in Saudi Arabia.

But, with just over two weeks to go, Fury suffered a horrendous cut in sparring that left him with no choice but to withdraw from the bout.

A rearranged date has been set for May 18 and the WBC champion has protested his innocence following the freak injury.

Now, his strength and conditioning coach, Kristian Blacklock, has released behind-the-scenes snaps to show that Fury was in incredible shape.

Blacklock posted: “Gutted. I’ve been working with @tysonfury since 2015 and yesterday probably the worst day we have had as a team!

“Behind the scenes and what people don’t see and don’t realise is the huge personal sacrifices we all made as a team to provide Tyson the best possible preparation

“We worked for 4 months dozens of training sessions, massages, meals cooked! Team members driving hundreds of miles to perform there individual tasks with Tyson everyday

“Giving up Christmas occasions with family then travelling to Saudi for 2 months, missing out on New year celebrations with family and loved ones, not seeing your children for weeks all to give our maximum efforts to producing Tyson Fury in the best shape of his life.

“We are obviously all down and dejected with the cut, a freak sparring accident, which some people are actually questioning.
But we will regroup and go again as determined as ever.”
