TYSON FURY showcased his impressive shape in the gym as he continues to step up his training for the Oleksandr Usyk rematch.
The Gypsy King, 35, suffered a split-decision defeat to the Ukrainian in Saudi Arabia last month.

Fury is looking to bounce back from defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in their rematchGettyTwo weeks ago, Fury was spotted being escorted out of a pub before he collapsed on the floor outside.
But just days later he was back training and looking ahead to the announced date for his Usyk rematch – December 21.
And he is maintaining that work in Lancaster as a photo emerged on Instagram on Tuesday of him in the gym at the Salt Ayre Leisure Centre.
Strength and conditioning coach Kristian Blacklock shared the photo on his social media – which showed Fury grimacing while pulling weights.
Alongside the image was the caption: ” Back to work with @tysonfury 
.”
Fury will be the underdog heading into the Usyk rematch after being outboxed for large parts of their first fight.
He was also rocked, hurt and counted by the referee in round nine after the ropes kept him up following a barrage of punches from the former undisputed cruiserweight champion.
Yet Fury recently claimed the main problem he had in the fight was that it was “too easy”.

Fury, who led the fight after six rounds on a number of fans’ scorecards before Usyk came on strong down the stretch, told Furocity: “I thought I boxed his head right off him for most of the rounds.
“He landed a good punch in round eight, that busted my nose. In round nine he had a 10-8 round, and I gave him round ten.
“Other than that I didn’t give him any other rounds, I gave him rounds eight, nine and ten.
“But round nine is classed as two, so I gave him four rounds of the fight. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be, a lot easier.
“People were saying he is a hard man to hit but I was lighting him up with three-and-four-punch combinations and laughing at him.
“My problem in that fight was that it was probably too easy.
“At times it was too easy, it was like I was in there with a local amateur boxer and I was enjoying it too much and messing around.
“And for that I paid the ultimate price in round nine when I had too much fun and got clipped.
“I was always told ‘never mix your work with having fun’ and I always gave my middle finger up to that – but now it has come back to bite me. I still enjoyed it, thought, it was all good.”
