Tyson Fury Says The Weight is Melting Right Off in Tough Camp

By Edward Chaykovsky

According to IBO/WBO/WBA heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, he's already dropped more than 14 pounds in nine days as he started his training camp for the rematch with Wladimir Klitschko in Manchester on July 9.

Last November, Fury (25-0, 18KOs) captured the world titles from Klitschko (64-4, 53KOs) with a shocking twelve round decision last November in Germany.

Heading into the camp, Fury complained that he needed to lose more than three stone [42-pounds] to be physically prepared.

Later today Fury and Klitschko will go face to face to officially announced their rematch at a press conference in the UK.

Before the presser, Fury first issued a message to his followers on social media, where he advised them that he's getting into top form ahead of schedule.

"Okay people. Nine days in camp and so far, so good. Just finished my fourth session of the day, just did 12 rounds on the bag. I'm feeling good. Feeling okay. I've just got two stone to lose now and I've got a lot of time to do it in, so camp is going really well so far," Fury said.

"I'm looking forward to the press conference to see what Klitschko's got to say and what excuses he's got to make. I'm training three or four times a day and killing myself in sweat suits and all that. I've lost a bit of weight off my face as you can tell. That's about it really. Everything's going well. Big shout out to all my loyal fans."
