TYSON FURY “looks in f***ing amazing shape” as he shared a clip of himself back training – and it came accompanied with a warning to Oleksandr Usyk.
WBC champ Fury suffered a nasty gash above his right eye a month ago while sparring for his unification bout with his fellow heavyweight title holder.

That led to their February 17 bout going up in smoke as a result.
Now Fury vs Usyk will now take place on Saturday 18 May and if there are any more pull-outs this time around, a £7.9million fee will be paid to the opposing fighter.
The Gypsy King’s scuffle in sparring with heavyweight Agron Smakici caused the damage, leading to a cut below his eyebrow that required 11 stitches.
That has led to many doubting whether Fury will have recovered in time for the showdown in two months time.
However, the undefeated 35-year-old sent out a message to his doubters and rival Usyk today on Instagram.
And it looked like he had not lost a step as he shared a clip of himself throwing punches back in the ring.
That came accompanied with a caption that read: “Somebody tell @usykaa the Ace is back.”
Fury then followed that up with a prediction as he wrote “#inside7” before finishing it off with the words “can’t wait”.
The footage soon caught the eye of social media users as thousands of messages from his 6.8 million followers arrived in the comments.
One of his supporters wrote: “The best shape you ever had. Legend.”
“Big man’s in shape for this one,” said another.
A third echoed those thoughts by writing: “Man looking in top shape.”
A fellow fan declared: “Looking slim and very agile, GET UP!!”
“Usyk is in trouble,” predicted a fellow fan while another called him a “dangerous man on a mission”.
While a seventh said: “Looks in f***ing amazing shape.”
Meanwhile, Fury said that the cut had completely healed now during an interview over the weekend.
He said: “A cut takes about eight weeks to heal.
“I had 15 weeks from cut to fight date so plenty of time. I’m not worried about the cut.
“If the cut opens in the fight, f*** it. So what? I’ve had plenty of cuts before. It’s a fight.
“I think I’ll take him out in seven rounds.”
He added: “In the game, s**t happens. Worse things have happened at sea.
“It won’t be the first and it won’t be the last time a fight has been cancelled with an injury. It is what it is.
“At first I was a little bit p****d off because it didn’t look like it was going to happen and we didn’t have a date.
“As soon as I got the date two days later it was fantastic. Everything’s good.”
