In a video posted to MTK Global’s Twitter account, Fury was seen out and about in Vegas and was asked ‘how he was feeling’ as the countdown to the fight continues.
And in typical Fury fashion, he responded: “Terrible, absolutely s****.
“I’m just going to walk I think, can’t be bothered.”
He’s then seen stumbling with his head down, before staggering around and pretending to fall into a bin.
And fans on Twitter were absolutely loving it, with one replying to the video: “What a guy”.
Others simply responded with multiple laughing emojis as Fury fans lapped up the pre-fight mind games from The Gypsy King.

The T-Mobile Arena awaits on Saturday night, with 20,000 fans expected to pack out the venue on Las Vegas’ famous strip.
And the WBC and Ring Magazine Heavyweight titles are on the line on as the pair face off once again in another battle for the ages.
And Fury was stunned to discover his next opponent could be Dillian Whyte if he emerges victorious this weekend.

That’s because the WBC have ordered the winner of Fury vs Wilder to face the interim titleholder if they can’t, within 30 days, finalise an undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk, who is contractually obliged to give Anthony Joshua a rematch.
Fury, 33, said: “That’s something I’ve not been told or am even interested in right now.
“I’ve got Deontay Wilder to deal with first and then we’ll sit down and make a decision on what’s next.”
The WBC’s mandate came in the same week The Gypsy King’s co-promoter revealed he’d be open to making a fight with Whyte.
He told iFL TV: “That could be a big, big fight for Tyson, particularly if we held it in the UK.
“That is not out of the question, Dillian Whyte is a capable heavyweight and a fight against Tyson Fury or Wilder [or] whoever wins would be a very interesting fight.”

But the veteran promoter reckons the Jamaican-born Brit to lose to come up short in his title eliminator.
He told iFL TV: “Last time he was mandatory, he fought Povetkin and got knocked on his ass.
“I look for Wallin to clearly beat Whyte, so I’m not even taking it into consideration.”
Whyte is refusing to get his hopes up over a potential grudge match with Fury, keeping his focus on getting past the tough and durable Wallin.
The Body Snatcher said: “Tyson Fury hasn’t spoken to anyone from my team about any fight.
“If he was serious, he would have sent emails or phone calls and we’d have been talking.

“If he was serious I would probably have even waited for him and not fought until December.
“But these fights are big fights, big fights don’t get made in one or two months.
‘There’s a lot of things that need to happen.”

DEONTAY WILDER has named his three best ever knockouts – with bitter rival Tyson Fury bizarrely making the list.The Bronze Bomber has his shot at redemption against the Brit this Saturday as the pair clash for the third time.

Wilder was destroyed by Fury during their second fight as he lost his WBC Title to the Gypsy King – but he is adamant his foe should have been counted out in their first showdown.
In December 2018 Fury survived two knockdowns to claim a draw against Wilder – with many believing he had done enough to WIN the fight.
The one in the 12th round was particularly brutal, with Fury miraculously getting back to his feet and finishing the round stronger.
Fury of course got his revenge in their 2020 rematch by crushing Wilder in seven rounds.
But before that fight, when asked by ESNews what his three ‘coldest knockouts’ were, Wilder, 35, answered: “Bermane Stiverne II.
“I transformed there, I had an outer experience, it was so crazy. [Artur] Szpilka was another one.

BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
“And the two knockouts with Fury, because I definitely knocked his ass out. It was amazing but I didn’t get the creditability.”
Stiverne managed to survive the full 12 rounds to lose on points against Wilder in 2015 before being blasted out in the first round of their 2017 rematch.
Szpilka was KO’d in round nine in 2016 against the Bronze Bomber.
WBC champ Fury, 33, met the American for the first time since he battered him on Thursday in Las Vegas and confronted him over his claims the Brit cheated last time out.
And at the pre-fight press conference – when Wilder was given the chance to retract and apologise – he doubled down on the claims, leaving Fury raging.
The Gypsy King fumed: “I don’t care, because it is coming from an unwell person.
“He blamed me, his trainer, his costume, the referee, the commission, one [excuse] might have been believable but not 50.

“It just tells me he is a mentally weak little person who I am going to beat again.
“I obliterated him in the rematch and he is getting it again.”
Wilder insists Fury robbed him with a range of scams – but he still felt the need to change up his training team and employ new coach Malik Scott.
He now reckons he has rebuilt himself for the trilogy and has vowed violent revenge on Saturday.
He said: “I don’t regret the claims I made and I will go to my grave believing it because I have confirmation and clarity.
“Men and women lie but the eyes can’t, the eyes don’t lie.
“I am now a better man and fighter because of what I have learned and know.
“The truth sets you free so there is no pressure on me, it’s all on him, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. My energy is like my mind, it is very violent.”

TYSON FURY says he would have ‘nutted the c***’ had he gone head-to-head with Deontay Wilder in their final press conference.In a heated debate the two heavyweights traded insults throughout.

But they were kept apart at the end as the traditional face-off was binned.
And that prevented some proper violence, according to the reigning WBC champ.
Asked by iFL why he didn’t stand toe-to-toe with Wilder, the Gypsy King said: “Because Frank Warren was thinking I was going to chin him.
“I wouldn’t have chinned him, I would have just nutted the c***, like that”, before showing the camera how.
Fury’s boxing promoter Bob Arum claims he ‘saved the fight’ after stepping in to make sure his client did not face-off with Wilder.
Arum, 89, was incensed with broadcaster Fox Sports and presenter Kate Abdo for suggesting the two fighters were going to come together.

According to Arum in his rant after the press conference, both Fox and Abdo knew a face-off was never going to be part of the press conference – and he clamied Abdo was out of order for bringing it up.
Arum even shouted out from the crowd “Not a good idea!” when Abdo raised the prospect.
However she then quickly changed her mind – suggesting it was Arum’s intervention which prevented the face-off happening.
That annoyed the promoter, who said: “They bring this woman in from the UK and she’s slanting all the press conference to Wilder.
“Like I don’t give a damn, but it’s obvious what she was doing!
“And then, she knew that the understanding was: no face-off. Tom Brown argued with Fox, no face-off.
“We said, “No face-off”. What does she say? “Now we’re going to do a face-off?”
“F*** her and f*** them. There was no face-off and we saved the fight.”

MIKE TYSON was left stunned after seeing footage of Deontay Wilder batter internet troll Charlie Zelenoff.Former WBC champion Wilder, who faces Tyson Fury in his trilogy fight on Saturday, flew out to Los Angeles in 2014 to confront Zelenoff after receiving a torrent of abuse from the Russian-American.

Upon arriving at the gym and agreeing to settle their dispute, Wilder had Zelenoff pen a legal waiver to prevent him from suing in the future.
And The Bronze Bomber, 35, proceeded to put a thorough beating on the troll not long after the ink had dried.
A fired-up Wilder raged: “Don’t you ever call me a n****r again.”
“Don’t you ever say you’re going to tape my daughter.”
Boxing legend Tyson missed the initial release of the footage of Wilder unleashing his wrath but was nonetheless still blown away by the beatdown.
During a previous episode of The Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast, he said: “I saw Deontay Wilder f*** some YouTuber up.

BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
“He came to the gym and was talking about Deontay Wilder’s kids and stuff.
“Wilder went here and beat his f a** up! He can really do that without getting arrested? I would have been arrested! I’d been in prison man, for this s***!”
Wilder is currently gearing up for his shot at redemption against the Gypsy King.
The pair will renew their rivalry was originally slated to take place on July 24, but will now take place on Saturday 9 October in Las Vegas.
Wilder will bid to avenge the seventh-round TKO defeat he suffered to The Gypsy King in February 2020.
And the Olympian plans to exact his revenge in devastating fashion.
He said: “My mind is very violent. We built a whole facility to commit a legal homicide and that’s just what it is, my mind is very violent at this time.
“I can’t wait, when you’re contemplating and pre-meditating about harming a man and you see that person, what you’ve been thinking and feeling will come out.
“The only thing about it is, at that point in time, I have to wait until I get in the ring to really release because I can’t do it on the outside, it’d defeat the purpose.
“The baby’s got to eat, but when I do get in the ring, this is what I love about it, I’m able to release everything I’ve been feeling, everything I’ve been thinking, and get paid to do it.”

“Deal or no deal? I’m putting the money up. Are you confident?”

During an appearance on The MMA Hour, he said: “When me and you get in the ring, kiss goodbye and don’t ever put on a pair of boxing gloves ever again, because it’s over for you.
“I’m going to send you straight back to where you belong — jumping off bridges on YouTube and messing about, because you don’t belong in my world, mate.
“And you’re going to find out very soon. So keep talking.”

Fury, however, is refusing to sit on the sidelines and wait for the younger Paul brother, saying: “Listen, I’m not about to put my career on standstill for someone like Jake Paul, a YouTuber. “
“I’m a professional athlete, a professional boxer who’s been doing this a long time.
“Jake Paul or no Jake Paul, you’ll see me back in the ring in December.”
