Tyson Fury may still be playing down the likelihood of a unification fight with Anthony Joshua but the WBC heavyweight champion has got himself in phenomenal shape as he prepares to return to the ring.

AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed earlier this month that the two British boxers had signed a two-fight contract with just a venue and date now needed before the undisputed clash can be officially announced.

Fury, though, has continually played coy about progress over a deal despite negotiations ramping up but has always insisted he will fight twice in 2021 – whether it is against Joshua or not.
