Tyson Fury’s coach puts Gypsy King through gruelling punch workout ahead of Francis Ngannou bout | The Sun
TYSON FURY was put through his paces ahead of next month’s fight against Francis Ngannou.
That’s after enduring a brutal punching workout with his strength and conditioning coach.
World heavyweight boxing champion Fury, 35, will take on UFC legend Ngannou, 37, in a massive money-spinning Saudi Arabian clash on October 28.
Despite the match being an exhibition, each man is eager to stake his claim as the greatest fighter on the planet.
And Fury has been working his socks off to ensure he’s in the best shape possible.
The Gypsy King will once again have renowned trainer SugarHill Steward in his corner, with rival Ngannou turning to Mike Tyson.

But Fury has also been working with strength and conditioning specialist Kristian Blacklock.
He has been tasked with ensuring Fury is in peak physical condition for next month.
And Blacklock put Fury through his paces with a brutal arm workout designed to get the best from the boxer’s punches.
A video posted on social media showed Fury doing explosive work with a weighted barbell, pushing it upwards in a quick motion known as a landmine press.

The exercise works various parts of the shoulder and upper arm, as it’s neither a completely horizontal or vertical movement.
And Fury made it even harder for himself by wrapping a resistance band around the barbell for extra power.
Blacklock captioned his video: “Working on power. Less than five weeks to go! #riyadseason.”
Meanwhile, Fury could opt against a heavyweight unification fight with Oleksandr Usyk once he’s battled Ngannou.
That’s because he’s weighing a move into Hollywood.
Fury’s wife Paris told Fabulous Magazine: “It wouldn’t shock me at all (acting). It would certainly interest him.
“We’ve had some big proposals put forward for him to go into acting seriously.
“But he’s done acting in the past and he lasts a few hours before he gets frustrated.
