Tyson Fury says ‘big fight’ announcement is ‘imminent’ and jokes about his ‘flab’ during gruelling workout
TYSON FURY has claimed he’ll be announcing a “big” fight imminently – while joking about his stomach.
The Gypsy King has been on the sidelines since his farcical Tottenham trilogy fight with Derek Chisora last December.
Fury was supposed to face Oleksandr Usyk in a historic undisputed showdown in April but the fight fell through due to the Brit’s repeated moving of the goalposts.
But he’s teased an “imminent” announcement of his return to the ring following a gruelling training session, after which he mocked his pudgy physique.
The WBC heavyweight king said: “Hoping to announce a big fight very very soon.
“Stay tuned, I’m working hard. I’m in the gym, summertime ready [and] getting them abs out.
“Or flabs, should I say for me.”
Fury, 33, was quick to point out that he’s remained unbeaten in his professional career with his rotund frame.
He continued: “But then again, they helped me 33 times in a row so that don’t really matter.
“Stay tuned. Big news, imminent.”

Fury was briefly linked with voluntary title defences against Aussie duo Jai Opetaia and Dempsey McKean.
Both fights have seemingly gone cold, although promoter Frank Warren is adamant the Wythenshawe warrior will be back in action before year’s end.
During an appearance on talkSPORT, the Queensberry Promotions chief said: “He is fighting in September.”
When asked who he will fight, the Queensberry Promotions chief said: “I hope we can get the contract signed.
“We have got a couple of options there with one of the guys we are negotiating with, we will announce it in due course.
“Because what do we keep doing? Putting out names and then it doesn’t happen.”
