TYSON FURY is in eggs-cellent shape for his fight with Oleksandr Usyk – after laying off any Easter treats.
Fury meets Usyk for the undisputed crown next Saturday in Saudi Arabia in the heavyweight division’s first ever four-belt unification bout.
The Gypsy King has touched down in his temporary Riyadh training base and showed off his trimmed down physique.
And Fury looks to have stayed strict to his fight camp diet after pictures emerged of his boot full of unopened Easter eggs.
Snaps from outside his Morecambe gym – taken before his flew out to Saudi – revealed a trunk full of chocolate egg boxes – all left uneaten.
Fury, wearing his own custom tracksuit, had just finished up a session with his eldest son Prince John James and dad when his boot of treats were revealed.

Two Bounty, two Smarties orange and one Lindt egg were all bunged into the boot.
The WBC champion is kept in top shape by his nutritionists George Lockhart and Greg Marriott.
They feed him a stunning diet containing up to 6,000 calories for the undefeated heavyweight to consume.
And despite being afraid of no man in the ring, Fury’s biggest fight at the dinner table comes against vegetables.

Lockhart told Betway: “With Tyson, he’s not a big fan of veg, so I cook a lot for long periods of time to mask the flavour.
“I’ll do it with chicken broth or bone broth. Or you can do it in a rice for a long period of time, so you can’t really taste it and blend it in.
“But as the camp progresses, obviously veg has got to go up to make sure they’re getting all their micronutrients.”
