Tyson Fury is back in camp training for his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko at the Manchester Arena on July 9th.
It’s well known that Tyson Fury, similar to Ricky Hatton, will gain weight in between fights. The man isn’t a fan of restricting himself from the luxuries that his hard work has brought him.
To be honest, I don’t think it’s too common in boxing to have a Floyd Mayweather like approach where you have an athlete training hard and watching what they eat all the time, even when they don’t have a fight scheduled. Every fighter once the training camp starts will have a few pounds to drop.
Tyson said the other day that he has lost 9lbs in just 48 hours. He certainly isn’t afraid of hard work that’s for sure.
Tyson said, “I’m back in the gym, training, I feel absolutely cream crackered [tired] I’ve got my sweatsuit on, I’ve been in the gym now nearly two hours. Losing weight.”
“This is the price to pay, when you don’t live the life outside of boxing. But I am not a robot, I am normal person, I am a human being.”
“I do have a life, I work, I get paid, I live me life.”
Tyson spoke of true professionalism within boxing, referring to athletes that keep themselves trim and in shape away from the ring. “True professional I am not, true person, true human being, true family man, true real man, true Gypsy King — yes I am.”
“I pay the price in camp, put the work in, do the fight. All that — live clean, live healthy, do this-do that, impossible for me, absolutely impossible.”
“I’m the Gypsy King, the rogue of all rogue’s, the man, number one.”
Fury will be looking at repeating his massive achievement of defeating the heavyweight that the majority of boxing fans called number one, on July 9th in Manchester.
