Tyson Fury on Why His Physique Does Not Define Him As A Fighter

Fury recently sat down for an exclusive interview with DAZN’s Off the Cuff. In conversation, he opened up about looking noticeably fitter ahead of the fight.“If I’m not ready now, I’m never going to be ready, am I? Been in camp forever. I never stop training, anyway. Whether I’m fat, thin, or whatever, I’m always training. I’m always in the gym, at least once a day, mostly twice a day,” he said.

Fury further mentioned that the major contributor to his updated physique was a change in his diet. However, he added that this neither adds nor takes away from his performance inside the ring. “It makes no difference. You can be skinny or fat, it’s all about how you perform on the night. Having a six-pack don’t mean you can fight,” Fury said. “As long as you’re fit enough to do the rounds, which I always am, then it’s never been a problem.”

“Win No Matter What”

There is no denying that this May 18 showdown will be a treat for fans. As one of the most awaited fights in the heavyweight division, there is certainly a divided room picking its favorite side. This, however, does not bother Fury in any way. He even expressed confidence in his victory in the upcoming showdown.

“Why will I win? Because it’s what I do. I win, win, win no matter what. I’ve always won,” he said in an interview. “What I deliver is victories. Whether it’s by an inch or a mile, I deliver every time. Sixteen years as a pro, I’ve been delivering my whole life. They should call me the midwife because I always deliver.”

Will the ‘Gypsy King’ finally secure his undisputed throne? Or will ‘The Cat’ bag the belts? Tune in on May 18.
