The two heavyweights meet in Saudi Arabia later this month.

Tyson Fury will head into his titanic battle with Oleksandr Usyk later this month having completed his body transformation to face the Ukrainian. 

Fury will bid for the undisputed heavyweight championship next Saturday, and has taken to social media to show off a more slim and trim physique as he prepares to do battle in Saudi Arabia. 

During his preparation, the British boxer has been meticulously following a strict diet, consuming around 3000 calories on his rest days and doubling that to 6000 calories on training days.

Ahead of their meeting, Fury has been speaking to Queensbury Promotions and admits he's fighting the very best when he squares off against Usyk. 

"Oleksandr Usyk's a real bad man and to underestimate Usyk you'd be a mug," Fury said. 

"I'm training hard for him, I'm doing everything I can. I respect Usyk as a man. I respect his career as well - Olympic champion, undisputed cruiserweight champion, unified heavyweight champion.

"You have to respect that, I'm fighting the real deal. I'm looking forward to the challenge. He's a southpaw, he's got good footwork, good boxing ability, technically sound. He's proved he can mix it with the big heavyweights because he's beat Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.

"I'm messing with an elite fighter who's got more than boxing ability. He's stubborn and he wants to win like I do. All of the talent and attributes aside, it will come down to who wants it most on the night. If he wants it more than him, he'll win and if I want it more than him then I'll win. I just think my will and determination will be more than his on the night."
