Five years ago, Tyson Fury was 28 stone and on the brink of quitting boxing… But now, he is his leanest since defeating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 after undergoing an incredible transformation

Tyson Fury has returned to his optimum condition ahead of his fight against Otto Wallin in Las Vegas against Saturday.

Fury came in at 254.4lbs for his fight against Wallin in Las Vegas, the lightest he has been since he defeated Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, where he weight 247 pounds.

He has been working to return to full fitness after ballooning to 28 stone in the aftermath of his win over Klitschko before withdrawing from the rematch due to mental health problems.

Now 31, Fury says he is enjoying training and doesn’t feel pressure in the way that he used to.

He arrived at his weigh-in wearing a Lucha Libre wrestling mask and has called himself ‘El Rey de los Gitanos’ for Sunday’s clash at the MGM Grand, in celebration of the anniversary of Mexican Independence

‘Now I get up and my first thought is to go train hard all morning,’ Fury said. ‘That creates the endomorphines in my body which make me feel my best ever.

‘They last until about 6.30 to 7 o’clock in the evening so I go training again to rebuild them.

Fury’s weight had reached 28 stone at his highest before returning to boxing and full fitness

‘If all my achievements, all the properties, all the money, all the cars were stripped away it wouldn’t matter to me as long as I am content.

‘I’d be happier like that, skint, than if I had to go back to that bad place I’ve been but had a billion dollars in the bank.

‘None of those things make me the man I am. I would still be El Rey Gitanos (a Spanish translation in honour of this weekend’s Mexican Independence celebrations here), a man who can sip a cup of tea with kings or sit down with a pauper and share half a lager.’
