The lockdown will last for at least three weeks after the death toll from the Covid-19 on these shores rose to nearly 400.
Fury claimed the WBC heavyweight title with a stunning win over Deontay Wilder.
He stopped the American in the seventh to capture the gold in Las Vegas after a thrilling display at the MGM Grand.
The wounded “Bronze Bomber” instantly triggered his rematch clause for a trilogy fight against the “Gypsy King” – which was due for July but looks likely to be pushed back due to the current pandemic.
However Fury, who has spoken freely about his weight issues and battle with depression in the past, is training alone due to all the gyms being closed down.
And after hearing Johnson’s latest message to the nation, he sent out a message of his own asking people to stay indoors.
The 31-year-old said on a Twitter video: “I would just like to say that I hope everybody is keeping well and staying safe and staying indoors and not going out because of the virus.
“After listening to what the prime minister said, I’ve taken it deadly seriously, as should you.
“Let’s fight this virus together as a nation, as a family and as a team, and do the best to help others not get the virus.
“Stay indoors, it’s very, very important, listen to Boris and stay indoors.”
Showing off a treadmill inside his own, Fury added: “I’ve had a person bring the gym over to me today.
“I’ve got a running machine, weights, a few free weights.
“I’m going to keep fit, and post daily videos of myself training and working out to keep you going and to keep me going.
“Everybody knows without the gym I’m finished. God bless, stay safe and stay indoors.”
