But that hasn’t stopped him from kicking off his fight camp, which he’s once again brought renowned nutritionist George Lockhart in for.
Fury shared a video of himself and the former MMA fighter having a meal on Friday afternoon and suggested preparations for his next outing are underway.
He said: “Hello, guys. I’ve got a big announcement to make. Business has finally started.
“The big man is finally here. How are you feeling, George?”
Lockhart replied: “I’m feeling good. I’m ready to rock and roll, baby.”
Fury then asked Conor McGregor’s former nutritionist: “Ready to smash 2022?”

Lockhart simply said: “Amen.”
An excited Fury then said: “You know what time it is when you see big George Lockhart here. Time for wrestling.”
Lockhart has wasted no time in getting started, cooking Fury a protein-packed breakfast ahead of a Saturday training session.
Fury, 33, has been ordered by the WBC to face Dillian Whyte in a long-awaited Battle of Britain.
But the bout has yet to come to fruition as Whyte has kicked up a fuss over the proposed 80-20 purse split in Fury’s favour.
Team Fury are understood to have explored other options in case a fight with Whyte doesn’t come to fruition.
And co-promoter Frank Warren is adamant the former unified heavyweight champ will fight on March 26, with or without Whyte.
He told iFL TV: “Tyson wants the fight to be the end of March.
“As a team, we’re looking at other situations as well. Whatever happens, he will fight on March 26, that’s what the objective is.
“I’m not going to say where it is.

“The fact of the matter is that’s when he wants to fight.”
He added: “It’s always been my dream to fight at Old Trafford.”

OLEKSANDR USYK’S coach has hinted the Ukrainian could be about to seal a deal to fight Tyson Fury in an undisputed blockbuster.Most of the talk surrounds Usyk having the rematch against Anthony Joshua after handing the Brit a heavy points defeat in September.
Oleksandr Usyk could fight Tyson Fury for all the belts
That saw the former cruiserweight king collect the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight belts.
Meanwhile, Fury’s promoter Frank Warren says the WBC champ will be back in action on March 26.
Dillian Whyte’s ongoing legal wrangles with the WBC mean the mandatory challenger may not be in position to take his chance.
And according to Sergey Lapin, Oleksandr Usyk’s assistant coach, the undisputed clash could be very much on the agenda.
He told MyBettingSites: ”Why not assume such an option as Fury-Usyk? It would be interesting for boxing fans, a historical event.
“If you remember a year ago, fans were waiting for a fight for the undisputed world champion in the heavyweight division between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua – but literally in a moment, everything changed.

“At this stage, I think everything is possible, everything is constantly changing.
“The battle for undisputed champion in the heavyweight division is a very cool event that has not been held for more than 20 years.
“To date, there is no exact information about this fight, but recently I noticed that there is a lot of talk about it. Perhaps we will find out something interesting very soon.
“Maybe it’s the UK and maybe it’s Saudi Arabia.
“Usyk is ready for any challenges, especially if he may have the opportunity to combine all the belts in heavyweight, his advantage over other heavyweight boxers is the ability to box, and it’s worth a lot!”
With all the belts on the line, and both boxers real masters of their craft, a Fury versus Usyk scrap would having boxing fans buzzing.
Why not assume such an option as Fury-Usyk? It would be interesting for boxing fans, a historical event.Usyk’s assistant coach
But Lapin is warning that it could well turn into more of a ‘chess game’ should they ever meet.
He continued: “If this fight between my fighter Usyk and Tyson Fury took place, it would really be a confrontation between two guys with high boxing IQ.
“It seems to me the fight would be more like a chess game, and victory will be in the hands of the one who will perform his task as productively as possible.”
But he has every confident his man would make history by becoming undisputed heavyweight champ.
He added: “Boxing is an art, and representatives of different styles arrange cool fights!
“Fury’s style can be very dirty, if Alex Usyk copes with Fury’s dirty style, then victory will be his!”

ANTHONY JOSHUA switching trainers just 12 weeks out from his must-win Oleksandr Usyk rematch is a “huge risk”, admits promoter Eddie Hearn.The 32-year-old Watford hero lost his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles to the Ukraine master in September and has a rematch booked for April.
Anthony Joshua is closing in on his big rematch against Oleksandr Usyk
Anthony Joshua is expected to have a new coach in his corner to replace long-time friend Rob McCracken
The original gameplan, hatched alongside Team GB boss Rob McCracken – to try to outbox the southpaw genius – was panned after the unanimous points loss.
And AJ has been on a tour of the US and Dubai auditioning new trainers like Eddy Reynoso, Virgil Hunter and Floyd Mayweather, with McCracken set to take the fall.
But Hearn concedes such a seismic change, so close to the fight, could carry huge consequences, he said: “It is a huge risk but if you feel like you need a change and you can’t go on in a specific way any more, the alternative is much more risky.
“If AJ didn’t make any changes and wasn’t comfortable with his approach going into the rematch, I feel like we shouldn’t be taking that rematch.
“But the fact he’s been so proactive and positive and whatever route he goes down, I know he’ll be comfortable with that decision.
“I’m a lot more at ease than with the flip side, which is to leave it. He needs something fresh, he’s excited.

“The key thing for him in this fight is being mentally comfortable with his preparation.”
There has been no official announcement on McCracken’s exit, after more than a decade as Joshua’s mentor.
But Hearn insists the man AJ regarded as the Sir Alex Ferguson of his team’s success has not been left in the lurch.
“These conversations have been with Rob and AJ,” he said. “AJ made it clear when he said ‘I will be working with a new trainer’.
“Will that be in conjunction with Rob? I think that’s to be announced in the coming weeks.”
Hearn hopes the rematch announcement will follow soon after the training shake-up is revealed, with London hopeful of hosting the rerun again.
Joshua gave conflicting interviews at the end of last year about his interest in taking stepaside money to let Usyk and WBC champion Tyson Fury battle it out to crown an undisputed king.
And Hearn says Dillian Whyte’s overdue shot at Fury finally being mandated played a part in kyboshing that potential money-spinning plan.
The Matchroom boss said: “Conversations about the whole step-aside manoeuvring keep popping up every now and again, because of the desire to stage an undisputed fight.
“But, with the Dillian Whyte situation, those conversations become very difficult, because you have another pawn in the negotiations.
“We got to the stage where it was almost like, ‘let’s crack on with the original plan’ and that’s where we’re at.
“We’ve had two or three offers from different countries to stage Joshua v Usyk but, for me, after the success of the Spurs fight, other than the result, I would love to do that fight back in the UK, possibly at Spurs again or at Wembley, because I feel like it’s a must-win for AJ.
“If we had the opportunity to stage the fight in the UK we should do it, and if he can win that fight on that soil it would be pretty special.”

His emphatic knockout of Deontay Wilder in their third bout last October took his record to 31-0-1.
And he is understood to have pocketed around £20m for that successful WBC heavyweight title defence in Las Vegas.
Coupled with an estimated £8m and £18m for the first two Wilder fights respectively, the trilogy earned Fury £46m.
Some of Fury’s other top paydays include at least £8m when he beat Derek Chisora in 2014, £5m for Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, £7m and £10m for Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin in 2019 respectively, according to sportspayouts.com.
Other pay packets saw the Gypsy King rake in £3m in 2015 against Christian Hammer and £1.5m for his 2018 win over Sefer Seferi.
In February 2019, Fury also signed an £80m deal with US broadcasters ESPN to show five fights across the pond while sticking with BT Sport in his homeland.

Forbes state Fury has received more than £5m in endorsements and sponsorship as well as his two bestselling books.
Last February, Tyson also launched an official merchandise company.
And he was paid another £12m for his guest appearance in WWE, where he beat Braun Strowman in October 2019.
Reports estimate Fury’s net worth is between £80m and £120m now – although that will go up again when he puts his WBC belt on the line against Dillian Whyte.
The heavyweight champ has got £28m in his firm Tyson Fury Ltd – that takes in cash from his bouts – with another £3.4m invested.
However, despite his mega wealth, SunSport revealed end-of-year company accounts showed the frugal fighter paid himself just £70,000 in dividends in 2021.
And in 2020, he took out a paltry £2,000.
‘MODEST LIFESTYLE’
A source said: “He’s extremely careful with money and knows the value of it.
“He’s not extravagant or flamboyant like some boxers are and lives a very modest lifestyle.”
“He is ensuring his family is comfortable for generations to come and that’s humbling.” 
Tyson and his wife Paris have just bought a stunning new £1.7m home in the Lancashire seaside resort of Morecambe.
They love the picturesque area and after living in a £550,000 house overlooking the beautiful Morecambe Bay, they have now bought a second home nearby.
It has much more room for their three daughters, Venezuela, 12, Valencia, three, and two-month-old Athena, and three sons, Prince John James, nine, Prince Tyson II, four, and Prince Adonis, two.
But Fury does love a nice motor and has Ferraris and Rolls-Royces in his swanky collection as well as Range Rover Sport SVR, Mercedes AMG G and a humble Mini Cooper.
