TYSON FURY insists he is being smashed all over his Las Vegas gym in his bid to finally dethrone Deontay Wilder.
The 31-year-old Gypsy King has taken his training camp to Sin City to a live a gruelling life totally dedicated to training for the February 22 rematch.

The 6ft 9in Brit hero has flown in heavy-handed London prospects David Adeleye and George Fox to mimic the WBC champ’s fearsome punching.
Adeleye only made his professional debut on December 21 but the 6ft 4in Ladbroke Grove powerhouse is a mountain of a man who looks an ideal stand-in for the Bronze Bomber.
He had done dozens of practice rounds with Tyson’s cousin Hughie Fury in the build-up to his winning debut, so will be well versed in how to try to pin down the giant yet freakishly elusive travelling men.
And George Fox, son of respected UK trainer Don Charles, is another heavy-handed prospect at 3-0 jetted out to Sin City to barrage the Gypsy King with as many monstrous punches as possible.
The 27-year-old had a slower start to his career with two points wins in 2018 and the most recent decision victory coming last November.

And the giant Traveller has told fans to forget the idea that his two-month stint in the sunny US is anything like a holiday away from rain-soaked England.
Fury said: “On Instagram it may seem like I’m living the dream in Las Vegas, with blue skies and palm trees, but in reality I’m in a gruelling training camp and it’s repetitive every day.
“Instagram would make you believe it’s a whale of a time and I’m enjoying myself and everything is fantastic, but in reality I’m being worked to the bone every single day.
“I’m being smashed session after session and I’m in the recovery pool because my joints are smashed and I need the recovery.”
Fury took the original fight in December 2018, on the back of tune easy tune-up fights after almost three years out, and was desperately unlucky to land only a draw.
The former unified heavyweight champ incredibly lost 10st on the journey, expertly assisted by former trainer Ben Davison.

And he has reminded his followers that behind all the glitz and glamour is blood, sweat and tears.
He said “Whatever you see on Instagram, in other people’s lives, that you’re trying to gain influence from, remember the grass is not always greener on the other side.
“Anything good in life comes from hard work.”
