Watch Tyson Fury take a barrage of body shots from world champ Josh Taylor as he prepares for Anthony Joshua showdown


TYSON FURY has amped up his Las Vegas training camp ahead of the summer showdown with Anthony Joshua with a little help from fellow Brit star Josh Taylor.

The Gypsy King, 32, is currently in Sin City perfecting his craft with a long-awaited heavyweight unification fight against AJ just months away.

And on the agenda for Wednesday was working on his ‘abs of steel’.

Fury stepped into the ring with WBA and IBF super-lightweight world champion Taylor.

The Scottish star, 30, himself is preparing for his unification fight with Jose Ramirez on May 22.

As part of their session, Taylor rained down a series of his heaviest hits into Fury’s core.

Without so much as a flinch, 6ft 9in Fury absorbed every punch Taylor – a whole foot shorter – threw his way.

Earlier this week, Fury vowed to ‘f***ing smash’ Joshua in the first of their two all-British clashes.

The chiselled Morecambe star roared: “You’re getting smashed motherf***er.

“Look at me when I tell ya, you’re getting f***ing smashed.”

Despite looking in superb shape, Fury has mixed work with pleasure, as he visited a gun range.

Posing with a machine gun, he posted: “Only in America. Living the American dream.”

Joshua, 31, and Fury finally agreed to fight each other in March, with promoters now left to agree a date and venue.

Both champions have agreed a site deal, believed to be Saudi Arabia, with August 7 the potential fight date.

AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn hopes to finally announce the Battle of Britain in Texas on Saturday – when Canelo Alvarez takes on Billy Joe Saunders.

Fury confirmed he will be ringside to watch his close friend Saunders after borrowing ‘motherf***ing don’ Bob Arum’s private jet to fly to Arlington.

And there, Hearn and the Gypsy King could confirm the summer unification.

Hearn said: “Hopefully we can announce the big one out there as Fury will be there.

“It would be amazing to announce that before or after the fight as it’s a massive show.”
