Tyson Fury's incredible transformation ahead of boxing blockbuster

Tyson Fury has stunned boxing fans by losing an incredible 50kg in an insane body transformation.

The British Heavyweight has been flaunting his new look on social media as he prepares for his must-win bout against Francesco Pianeta on August 18th.

Following a two year hiatus from boxing, the 29-year-old made his comeback in June by beating Sefer Seferi – and now he says he’s “ready for war.”

‘ABSOLUTE BLOODBATH’: Gruesome fight shocks UFC fans

If the Englishman is victorious in his bout against the Italian, then he claims to have lined up a blockbuster event against WBC champion Deontay Wilder in December.

He has made little secret of his desire to fight either of the division’s world champions, Wilder and Anthony Joshua, and insists he and his promoter Frank Warren are ready to take advantage of the breakdown in negotiations for a Joshua-Wilder unification fight.

Fury will have fought only four unremarkable rounds, against Albanian Sefer Seferi, in little under three years by the time of his bout with Pianeta.

The 32-year-old Wilder’s desire for a high-profile opponent and his increased value in the context of a fight with Fury could make an agreement likelier, and Fury said on social media: “I can confirm that me and Deontay Wilder are in negotiations, very close to being done.

“Negotiations are very strong for December, we’re almost done for this deal.

“I won’t be overlooking Francesco Pianeta. He’s going to give me the right fight and the right work to prepare me for Deontay Wilder. I’ll flatten him first and then Wilder, let’s dance.

“You’ve been dealing with Eddie Hearn and Joshua, but I’m a man of my word. If I say I’ll fight you, I’ll fight you.

“Prepare well, train hard, let’s get the deal done. I’ll knock Pianeta into next week, I’ll knock you spark out too.”

In a separate post, he then revealed the potential Wilder fight would take place in the United States, as the champion would prefer, adding: “Next stop Belfast, then after that it’s Las Vegas or New York.”
