Fury prepares relentlessly. A recent training clip surfaced, intended to showcase his readiness. But does raw power alone guarantee victory? And why are fans not impressed with his power?

Tyson Fury recently gave fans a peek into his vigorous preparation regime. In a post brimming with determination, he captioned, “Crazy MF Tuesday session with @kristianblacklock & @isaaclowe6 Time 🕰️ to shine again GK 2024.🙏👑”. The clip unveiled Fury, engaging in a hefty sled push, the weights seemingly hitting the 100kg mark.

Anthony Joshua, fresh off KO’ing Francis Ngannou, watches closely, his intentions set on challenging the victor of the Fury vs. Usyk clash. And fans are already predicting the outcome of that.

Firstly, one user who couldn’t help but jest, “What kinda shitty jump squats is that 😂,” highlighting a less-than-impressed view of Fury’s squat technique. Subsequently, another user chimed in, offering a constructive critique with, “Need some work on mobility champ,” suggesting that even a champion like Fury has room for improvement in his squat form. This sentiment was echoed by another user, who pointedly remarked, “All these people on the payroll and none of them are improving that form…” indicating a surprising expectation for higher training standards.
