Rather than worrying about his next bout, however, he enjoyed a dinner with icons of his profession.
Fury, 34, shared a table with Mike Tyson, former opponent Derek Chisora and legendary announcer Michael Buffer, among others.
The Gypsy King shared a clip of his evening to Instagram.
He captioned it: “Talking about faith with @realmichaelbuffer @radiorahim @derekwarchisora @miketyson @hughfury96 @styallandscapes Big night out 😊🙌”

Radio Rahim commented: “An honor to be sat peacefully with warriors of varying faiths. All breaking bread under the name of one God!”
While Chisora, who Fury beat for a third time last December, added flame emojis.
Fans loved seeing the interaction, with one commenting: “Can you imagine how proud big John is !!
“Named his son after one of the best world champs to then have his son become one of the best world champs to then sit and enjoy the company of the man he named him after sharing story’s old and new !!”

A second wrote: “Sat there with your namesake and your dad who named you after him, what a dream.”
And a third joked: “There ain’t a man alive picking a fight with that table 😂”
Fury is named after Mike Tyson and the two have a good relationship.
The Gypsy King shared a snap of them FaceTiming last year, and even called Iron Mike “uncle”.
They dined together in Saudi Arabia last month, with Tyson even waving a sword around after their meal.
Fury has finally started training for his historic heavyweight unification bout with Usyk.
The date is set for April 29 at Wembley Stadium, with the Ukrainian having agreed to a slim 70-30 split of the purse in Fury’s favourite.
Usyk made clear that this would be dependent on the Gypsy King donating £1million to the people of war-torn Ukraine.
While jogging alongside the sea, Fury said: “Today is the first day of my training for the Usyk fight.
“I don’t need six months or four months, I just have six weeks and a week’s rest, done, happy days.
“I am going to impose my will on this little, sneaky mother f***er.”

Fury also tried to make it a fight for national pride against the Ukrainian, who bravely fought on the front line against Russia.
The undefeated 6ft 9in ace roared: “Get up lads. I cannot wait. Rule Britannia!”

But the London 2012 gold winner demanded Fury, 34, donate £1million to help his brave nation fight back Russian invaders, as part of the deal.
Fury took to Morecambe Bay for a run on Saturday and confirmed the countdown to the four-belt decider is ON.
But he refused to mention the seven-figure donation he committed to, by forcing Usyk to accept such a slim slice of the pie.
While jogging alongside the sea, he said: “Today is the first day of my training for the Usyk fight.

Like Anthony Joshua – who lost his titles after back-to-back losses to Usyk – Fury will struggle to find sparring partners to match-up to and imitate the 6ft 3in southpaw.
He has flown in his New Zealand pal Joseph Parker – who will have to ditch his usual orthodox stance if he is to be any use.
And he has former Marine and expert sports chef George Lockhart living with him preparing meals to fuel him.
On the steps of his Lancashire mansion, Fury added: “I have flown my good buddy and brother Joseph Parker in for sparring, we will do 10-12 rounds today.
“George Lockhart has already been here a couple of days so we are ready to rock and roll.
“Usyk, you are on a warning, you’re on notice, six weeks sucker, we are coming for you!”

Channeling his inner gladiator he bellowed: “Sparta!”
Fury previously hit out at “gappy-toothed, ugly b******” Usyk in a foul-mouthed rant.
He said: “Usyk, you little s***bag. Sign the contract, get your money and get f***ed up.
“You little s***house. You’re a little gappy-toothed, ugly b******. Sign the contract.”
And Fury even hit out at Logan Paul, following brother Tommy’s win over the American’s sibling Jake.
He said: “Logan Paul, you little bitch.

TYSON FURY has launched an X-rated rant at Oleksandr Usyk as the pair appear to be closing in on a date for their heavyweight clash. The wheels started moving yesterday as Fury sparked a war of words between the pair and demanded 70 per cent of any fight purse.

The Gypsy King even told his opponent that the clock is ticking and he would slash at the 30 per cent fee until Usyk agreed.
But Usyk hit back and said he would accept Fury’s terms – but only on the condition that Fury donates to Ukraine’s war effort.
Fury has now had another pop at his rival as he urged Usyk to put pen to paper with a provocative rant.
The 34-year-old said on Instagram: “Usyk, you little s***bag. Sign the contract, get your money and get f***ed up.

“You little s***house. You’re a little gappy-toothed, ugly b******. Sign the contract.”
Fury has often used social media when he has become frustrated with slow-moving negotiations.
It was one of his main tactics when trying to goad Anthony Joshua into an all-British bout last year.
But it appears to have sped events up with an undisputed heavyweight clash at Wembley at the end of April now seriously on the cards.

Usyk appeared to accept the terms in his video message but put forward an unexpected ultimatum to Fury.
The Ukrainian said: “Hey, Greedy Belly. I accept your off of a 70-30 split to fight on April 29 at Wembley.
“But you will promise to donate £1million to the people of Ukraine immediately after the fight.
“And for every day you delay you will pay one per cent of your purse to the Ukrainian people. Deal?”
It will now be up to Fury and Usyk’s team to try and thrash out a deal to give boxing fans the biggest fight of the year. More
