Over six months ago it looked like Tyson Fury was truly done and dusted with the sport of boxing. He ballooned up massively in weight and wasn’t showing any significant signs of a healthy comeback.
But recent photos and training videos have reassured his fans that Fury has truly lost a lot of weight during his training in Marbella.
The before and after photos have caused a bit of shockwave already though it is known that ‘The Gypsy King’ has been training hard for a while now.

Back in November Fury still had a sizable gut standing next to Ricky Hatton but his newest post on Twitter shows the impressive difference.
