FANS have been left in awe of Tyson Fury’s impressive physique ahead of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk this weekend.
The Gypsy King, 35, is set to go for undisputed heavyweight gold when he takes on the Ukrainian in Riyadh on Saturday night.
Last October, Fury laboured to a sloppy, controversial points win over Francis Ngannou.
But this time around, the Gypsy King appears to be leaving no stone unturned in his quest for history.
Less than a week out from the fight, Fury posted a mirror selfie to Instagram.
In the snap he can be seen wearing a green vest, with his right bicep absolutely bulging.

While Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk even goaded: “Happy to see you finally fit.”
Another fan wrote: “what a shape dude you got this.”

The Gypsy King has been fuelling himself with 6,000 calories per day in preparation for his fight with Usyk.
In charge of keeping Fury a lean, mean, fighting machine are nutritionists George Lockhart and Greg Marriott.
Inside Tyson Fury’s 6,000 calorie diet
By Jack Figg
TYSON FURY has his first meal at 10am, which varies from a FIVE-egg omelette with turkey bacon, two large roasted potatoes and 1/2 an avocado.
Other days he will have three scrambled eggs, with turkey or chicken sausages, potatoes and fruits like pineapple or blueberries.
At midday, Fury enjoys a snack of either fruits, a protein shake, peanut butter or a Greek yogurt.
At 3pm, he has lunch which could be lemon pepper salmon or a chicken dish of either thighs, a BBQ breast or a curry with potatoes and veg.
Fury has dinner at 6pm, which is a variation of one of his lunch meals.
It then sets him up for two snacks, one at 9pm and another at 12pm, which is either fruit, a protein shake, yogurt or dark chocolate.
Lennox Lewis recently claimed that Fury has the edge over Usyk going into this weekend.
He told The Times: “The bigger guy always has the advantage. I think it’s a good time for Tyson.
“Everyone can see the shape he is in and that he’s taking it a lot more seriously than the [Francis] Ngannou fight — and so he should.
“Both guys are great champions. Both are winners.”
Even after potentially beating Usyk, there is one man Lewis, 58, believes that Fury must conquer.
He added: “(Fury) needs to fight AJ because it’s a British thing.

“After (Joshua’s) fight with Ngannou, people are saying he’s back, he looked great. But [Fury is not] the kind of boxer Ngannou is.
“It would be a good fight. Fury is elusive and is always going to be difficult to box against. Styles make fights.”
