Totally focused or concerning behaviour - Tyson Fury's bizarre open workout has everyone talking

Totally focused or concerning behaviour - Tyson Fury's bizarre open workout has everyone talkingDAZN

Tyson Fury stepped into the open workout ring on Wednesday night, jumped on the spot and then left.

His actions, or lack of them, stunned everyone watching, both in the Arena and on DAZN. 

The two time world champion actually spent more time on the boat travelling over the water to the Riyadh plaza, than he did in the warm up ring.

This was in complete contrast to his rival and world champion Oleksandr Usyk, who was accompanied to the ring with a live band and energetic workout routine.

When the Morecambe fighter did eventually get ringside he waved to the crowd, took off his jacket, changed his boots, walked around the squared circle a few times, jumped up and down on the spot, put his gloves on, jumped around a bit more, took his gloves off and then left.

All this was done without a single punch being thrown.

To top it off, Fury then dodged DAZN reporter Claudia Trejos' questions. He simply repeated he was going to deliver 'a lot of pain, a lot of damage and serious hurt' to Oleksandr Usyk regardless what question was asked.

Fury, a man that normally loves to talk, has been a different beast in preparation of this rematch with Usyk.

He has avoided as much media contact and duties as possible. He has also revealed he has not spoken to his wife or kids for three months, with phones banned at his training camp.

While some are concerned that Fury is not being himself, and needs some humour to be at his best, others have welcomed the fierce focus the challenger is displaying.

Ultimately, it was left to trainer SugarHill Steward to do the talking.

“It was a 'little' workout. We gave it our best, Steward joked on DAZN.

“Tyson Fury is just ready right now, along with myself. He’s always had like a silly demeanour and been playing around, but this is a different side of him.

"He’s just ready, 100 per cent ready. It's how we normally train [aggressively] and how we talk.

"I was taught by Emmanuel Steward and pain, hurting people and knockouts are always written on the walls of the Kronk Gym. That is boxing"
